Question - (20 December 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 20 December 2007)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've been dating the same girl for the past two and a half years. But recently things have started dying within our relationship. I couldn't care less for sex or anything like that, but the passion is gone. She has a bad habit of displacing her anger and directing it toward me, as well as getting mad at small things. Things would be more simple, but she lives with me and my parents. I found a girl that is into everything that I am, and she and I really get along well. How do I go about breaking up with her and moving her out without hostilities?

There is no easy of telling some one that you are breaking up with them. You just have be honest with her - but hold off telling her about this other girl for a while or at least until she gets over the shock of your break up.

Tell her that you don't feel the same way about her any more. Your feelings for her have changed, that you have outgrown the relationship. The longer you leave it the harder it will be for you to break up with her.

It took me a few months to pluck up the courage but eventually after a few months I broke up with my then fiance but like hlskitten I have no regrets and never looked back since. Yeah he was upset but that was to be expected after 8 years 2gether.

Best of luck with it all tho anyway :)

hlskitten agony auntHi

Hats off to you for wanting to get out and not do the dirty behind your current girlfriends back!

Well, its not going to be pleasant whatever you do. But you dont have any choice do you. You are probably best off just being honest about you both drifting apart. Tell her you believe the relationship has run its course but would still like to be firends eventually. Its a horrible thing to have to do. I know, ive been there. It took me a few months to pluck up the courage to do it, but i never looked back once i did it. And everyone is happy now 7 years on. Its difficult because she is living in your house but you really dont have a choice.

Deep breath and do it. She doesnt need to know about the other girl though. Some things ARE best left unsaid.

I hope things work out well for you.

C xxxxx
