How do you do break up with your longterm boyfriend?

Answer 1

First of all you must be honest and upfront. None of the hiding behind cell phones and not returning his phone calls. Please don't even thing of texting and/or e-mailing your desire to break -up. Telling him "I just need my space for now" is a poor excuse which if he truly is in love with you will give reason for him to hang on. Secondly, if you are breaking up with him because you are interested in someone else or possibly already seeing someone else, you've already gone too far. The correct thing to do is end #1 relationship first.

So begin by telling him in person whatever your "truth" is. I need to end this relationship because"....." I am sorry for your pain".

And by the way, since you are ending the relationship with him do not attempt to soften the blow by saying "it's ok, we can still be friends". He doesn't need you as a friend right now. He needs to recover and regroup from the pain you are causing by the breakup.
