How do I break up with my "back-up" boyfriend?

Question - (27 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 October 2009)
A female age 16-17, anonymous writes:

I wanted to break up with him because there was so much I didn't know about him - we met on the internet and you know, people don't really like posting personal information about themselves. So yeah, I got prepared and got a "back-up" boyfriend just in case I really did break up with him. It was hard 'cause I kept seeing him. So I ended up with two guys in the end but I really don't want to be with the "back up" boyfriend. I don't want to hurt him and say I don't want him...

tell me what I should do.

You've just got to be very brave and say it. Meet with him, be very calm and be very sure of yourself and say that it's over. No doubt he will be hurt, but if you do it as calmly as possible, then stop contact, it will allow him time to move on. There is never an easy way to do split from someone, but you can at least do it in person and make sure it's done calmly and quickly. Good luck.

quiet-echo agony auntNot much information to go on here.

How long have you been seeing guy #1 and guy #2 (back up boyfriend)?

How often do you see the back up boyfriend?

How intense is it?

Before beating your self up, if this is still in the early stages, your reasoning is understandable. We don't make an exclusive committment to one person until it has lasting relationship potential. If one is casually dating, they are still free to play the field.
