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

Can some people let me know stories of how they broke up with people and how that person responded or how you responded. I know I need to break up with my boyfirend, even though I love him, it's just not right. I've been with him for almost two years... I want to know what to expect and hear stories to make me feel better about it. I tried to break it off before but he started crying and I gave in. I need to do it but I seriously dont think I can.

A boyfriend is never going to act the way you hope he will when you break it off. Of course he is going to be unhappy. If he tries guilting you into it just tell him this is what you want and that you're unhappy. Give him time to get over it. Everything gets better with time. Also, if it is hard for you to not give in to him just don't make contact. Erase his number from your phone and if he calls, texts, emails, etc. just don't answer.

Once, I told a guy who i had been with for three and half years that i wanted to break up. I told him that we just argue and I can't get over his past and his lie to me and the things he had done. That I really have fun with him but the relationship just wasn't going right. He cried, screamed, got depressed, made suicide implications, texted me begging for me back, cried some more, screamed some more, started smelling even worse at work, so i'm guessing stopped showering or something.. lost weight.. then he got over it and he's happy now. And i'm married.

Well.. that didn't go well did it? Point is, no matter how you go about it, it will hurt all the same. But in time, things will go on. Life goes on. People move on.

Good luck.
