I've been feeling smothered by a relationship. If I have to break it off, how can I do it?

Question - (15 December 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 15 December 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I just got out of a relationship and wanted to spend some time alone with myself to learn more about me. Maybe 2 months later I met a guy who was cute, funny, and really smart.

In my past relationship I was dating a girl (I am a girl too) and it was my first real relationship. One of the reasons I ended it is because I don't want to be with a girl anymore.

So this new guy that I started seeing, I just wanted to have sex with him because I had never done it before. I wanted it to be casual, but it became more without me wanting it to, but I liked having someone there.

He ended up spending almost every night at my place and I ended up feeling a little smothered.

I never told him that. I do like spending time with him but I don't see a future. We are both moving to different places in about 3 weeks, but we're moving out of the city we're in now (to stay at our parent's house for a little bit before leaving) in 5 days. He talks about visiting each other in the future, and I think he really likes me and wants a relationship in the future.

We've been seeing each other for 2 months, and I don't know if I should break it off or just let it take its course. I have a really hard time breaking up with people, and I don't know how I would do it if that's what I have to do.

I feel almost like I've been leading him on because of all the plans he makes for the future, I just go along with it. What should I do? If I have to break it off, how can I do it? Can I just see him until the 5 days are over, then stop talking to him?

person12345 agony auntIf you don't see a future break up with him. Don't let it linger and don't leave him hanging. If you've been dating for awhile it's pretty cowardly to just give him the silent treatment until he goes away. Tell him you've enjoyed the time you've spent together but just don't feel strong enough about the relationship for it to survive the distance.

You can if you want to hurt him really badly and give him months wondering what he did that was so bad that you just ignore him.

OP you're being far too sensitive about this. You're just casual fuck buddies, maybe he likes you and maybe he just likes your pussy. He knows this is going nowhere because you're both moving away.

Just be honest and tell him it's time to call time on this, that it was fun, he's lovely but you feel it's time to move on.

No big deal OP, it's only been a 2 month fling, he'll be disappointed but he'll respect your honesty and move on.

This isn't some long term heart breaking romance OP, a bit of fun and now you're ending it.
