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

I was on here asking for help to break up with my live in boyfriend a couple of months ago. Last night i finally was breaking up with him. I cant go on in our relationship anymore even though i love him because i need to find myself and just be alone. But, he doesn't want to let me go. He said his whole world is crashing down and that he wants to go through life with me. He doesn't understand that I want to be alone no matter how many times i say it. He thinks i don't want to include him in my life, but i have been trying and i just don't feel like i can reach my potential. He wants to talk tonight and work things out, but i just don't want to be with him anymore. I need help, it is killing me to hurt him like this. He is such a sweet man and deserves the world. But, i cant give it to him if i cant even love myself. And when i tell him that he just doesn't get it. What do i say to him tonight? I want this to end i just cant do it anymore, but how do i make him understand?

Yours Truly,

Lost it

Hi there... I realise you posted this about a year ago but it's exactly what I'm going through at the moment and would love to hear how this turned out for you?? As I'm very confused what to do... At the moment we are on a break only for the fact I can't bear to break up with him even though I want to I can't stand hurting him.. I Definetely want to because I'm not happy anymore and want time for myself and be independent but he keeps trying to find more reasons and doesn't understand why I want this... Let me know how u went... Thanks

Hellow, i have no idea what to tell you im lost my boyfriend i love to death but he gets mad at everything i do, i try my best and he doesnt notice and i want it to end but i dont want to hurt him, he made us take a break and i want it to be official so i can stop worring about him

but im going to think about it more but what i would do is say i you truley love me let me go let me be on my own for awhile i need my space and i cant keep worring about you

tell him you love him to death and you hate hurting him but truley tell him it needs to end its your life and if alone is what you want then you should be able to have it, if he truley loves you he will understand granted it will hurt him but he needs to know
