How do I kindly break up with someone? I still love him and don't want to hurt him

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

I need to know how to kindly dump someone you still love and don't want to hurt. I've tried it before, but he started balling and at one point hyper-ventilating. I don't think I can do that again. I couldn't stand to see him that way and took it all back right there. I sometimes don't even think that even though I'm not happy, it's not worth seeing him that way. But I have to do it. It's been two years and things just aren't the same. He doesn't think a thing is wrong. Catching him off guard makes it even worse. I'm miserable and ready to turn my life around. Help me know what to do and what to prepare for/expect. I don't think I can do it.

QuirkLady agony auntIt's going to hurt regardless. Sit him down and be honest with him. He will cry and be upset but you have to be strong and stick to your decision. Hopefully he will have friends and family to lean on.

Good luck.

Breaking up with someone is never nice. But unless you don't date anyone until you are ready to get married, you are going to have to do it and have it done to you.

You just have to get it over with.

Tell him that you are not happy, that you want to split up, and that you are very sorry.

Then you just have to hug him till he calms down and get him to call a friend or his mum or someone.

Good Luck!! xx
