A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for over a year and I don't think I love him any more, at least I'm not in love with him any more.

I recently met another guy and we went out as just friends but he's told me he likes me and I've said the same to him and I meant it.

I think I want to break up with my boyfriend but don't know how to do it as he doesn't know about any of this. What should I do?

You should definately do it as quickly as possible.Its not right to string people along, or cheat. Be nice, and apologetic. Dont tell him you "found someone else." Just say you dont feel the same as you use to and you dont want to keep him in the relationship under false pretenses. That other guy is none of his business, and it'll only hurt him that you were trying to be with someone else while with him.Dont call him after breaking up with him, cut off all contact, dont answer if he calls you. I know it seems extreme, but its actually better for the both of you in the long run.It sounds like it may be a shock for him, so you keeping in contact will only hurt him more.

well you could do one of three things:

1) tell him the truth

2) start and argument and end it that way

3) break it off slowly, like dont see him as much, dont text as often etc

i'd go for number one

the truth hurts but so do lies

Moviefan agony auntYou sure that you want to give up what you have with your current boyfriend, for a guy you know nearly nothing about in comparison. For all you know he could use you and leave you, and brag afterward that he stole you from him and had his fill. Guys tend to like to sweet talk you and get what they want aka sex as your age. I would stay with your current boyfriend if i was you, but im not.

If everything is going smooth with your current boyfriend, that's a good thing. But if your getting bored then just try to talk with him about stirring things up with each other.

Good Luck
