How do I tell my boyfriend that I don't want to be with him? (anymore)

Be honest and tell him why you started feeling this way. Explain to him where you're coming from. There is no easy way to end things with someone you have been with, but if you are not happy anymore then it is only fair that he knows why. Expect that his feelings might get hurt, but understand that staying with someone when you can not give them a hundred percent of you is more hurtful. Give him space and time after you talk. He will definitely need time to move on, and so are you. I hope things will go well.

The best way to do this is to be straightforward, tell him your relationship isn't working out well. Hiding and waiting can be more painful for both sides. so the best thing to do is to tell him in a appropriate respected way. For example you can use words like "sorry, I don't want to hurt you, but it isn't working out well." Breakups are always hard but we can get through them. So don't be afraid to tell your honest opinion to someone. If you need more help please don't hesitate to text me or any of the listeners in 7 cups

Try to be empathetic to him and not say anything harsh or mean. Say that you have slowly lost interest as you developed or that things are just not working out and you don’t feel the same way anymore(or why you wan to break up). Think why you don’t want to be with him anymore and tell him the reason in a nice way so that you don’t hurt him. It’s always nice to know what the reason to the breakup is. If the reason isn’t exactly him, tell him, of course if the reason is because of what he does or doesn’t do try to make him understand how you feel.

Be honest with him and tell him exactly how you feel and why. From my personal experiences I can tell you lying or trying to avoid the truth will be more hurtful than being honest. Everyone deserves to know the reason why their relationship is ending in my opinion, and if you lie it could lead to him wondering what he did wrong or thinking you're leaving for someone else and stir up a lot of unnecessary questions in his head which don't have to be there. It will hurt him but being honest is the best way to go about it.

I think the best way to do this is to be honest with him, and empathetic. While it is important (of course) to keep your own mental health in mind, understand that this is a difficult situation for him as well, and so empathy is the best way to do so. Try to use kind words and answer any questions he may have. And, of course, if at any point he begins to get violent or the conversation isn't progressing well, it's important for you to leave and possibly return to the conversation at a later point, when you both have calmed down a bit.

First, you'll have to understand why you don't want to be with him and be clear about it. Then you'll have to talk to him about it calmly and truthfully, yes it will hurt him bad, whatever you might say. But be truthful about it, tell him why you want it to end, and tell him that it is good for you both. It will seem difficult because it is very sad, but if it feels right then you should do it as it is important to do what is right and to do what you love. Being in a healthy relationship is better than a toxic one the one that doesn't feel right.

No one likes break ups, especially not when feelings are still there. So you have to think how would you like being told? Understand that whatever way you choose to say this, it will be hard for the other person so you both may lose temper, take it slowly, process it yourself first, learn how to express your feelings and be honest. Things can escalate into fights pretty easy if you both are not on the same page, so maybe try a way that is explaining your decision without attacking the other person or put the blame on someone.

Hello! I would first evaluate the positive and negatives of your relationship and make sure that you are sure of your decision because it can be hard to go back on your decision once it is announced to him. Then, if you have decided that are more negatives than positives in your relationship, I would sit him down (face-to-face makes for a more personal conversation) and express to him how you are feeling and end your feelings with the fact that you want to break up. Expressing your feelings to him before blatantly stating that you want to break up will help let him down “lightly”. Stick with your gut and in the end, do what is best for you! Wishing you the best of luck, K.

You can tell your boyfriend that you don't want to be with him anymore on many different ways. It would be the best if you told them that you don't want to be with him and at the same time explaining why you don't want to be with him. You can do it via a telecommunication device or on a meeting with him. You can also let him explaining back and reconciliate any disputes. But i strongly recommend that you don't just ghost him and go away as it can be more hurtful than saying that you don't want be with him anymore and why.

Yikes, that's a hard situation! But I guess the main thing, to do is talk to him and really be straightforward. I know that's such a hard thing for people, but it's better to tell them the truth, rather than you cheating on them or doing something else to make the situation worse. Also maybe talk to someone close to you before, to maybe get some advice or support. Also asking yourself, "why don't I want to be with him anymore?" Try to identify everything before making the decision. Hopefully he would understand and end of moving on like you would too. Good luck!

Just be totally honest with him. He'll appreciate that. Also be sure to give him a reason, because if he's anything like myself, he will want to know a reason as to why things ended, and he can maybe build things later in the future. In order for things to end smoothly, however, just be honest, and let him know that you'll be there for him. Don't cut off all ties until he gives you a reason for you to do so. Just be straight forward with him, and he will understand, and provided you give him reasoning and have an understanding, things will end well.

Love is a feeling,and feelings are not always there, things change with time, because of things that happened in between or just because enough time has passed and they just over,, ask yourself first do you want to end the relationship with him, or do you still want to be with him but you want your butterflies with him back? Then when you know this you will know how to actually tell him, if you want to stay you can tell him the truth that you feel that you don’t have butterflies and you want them back then both of you could start thinking of what to do to fall in love like in the first place like starting going on dates and doing activity together,,and see what happens,,but also if you want to leave, it great to be open and tell him the truth because everyone deserves the truth, tell him that the relationship is not working for you anymore and you don’t feel anything for him and you want to end it.. the Truth and openness is the way to a Happy ending.,A happy Life,,Goodluck

I understand that you want the easy way to tell him that, but there's no easy way to tell him that you do not love him. But yeah there can be kind and more gentle ways to break up with someone that you admire and appreciate. You first need to accept that there's no easy way to break up, because it really hurts to be rejected by someone that you love. But still you have to be honest with the person that you're breaking up with, if you do appreciate them then they actually should know that directly, because if you appreciate them, if you appreciate the good moments, etc, then they deserve the truth and you should have the courage to say it right away.

So every once in a while, a person's relationship with their significant other reaches a point of saturation; either because you lack compatibility and can't seem to stop fighting, or because you just lost feelings at some point, or maybe its just getting suffocating for you. In any of those cases, or whatever other reason you might have, you deserve to be able to get your own space and break out of the relationship. But if you're having thoughts of ending it, you significant other equally deserves to get out of a relationship that is probably not going anywhere. I think, you just simply sit with him, talk to him, and tell him it's just not working out between the two of you. Let him down easy if you can, but be honest and at least give him some clarity about why you're breaking up with him/

First of all calm down and relax. If you’ve made up your mind about not being wit h him there’s nothing wrong in it. It may be stress full to think about how to end things with a person you have/had something first. Lets hope you’ve taken unto consideration the fact that you definitely want to break up with him. Then use words politely and calmly with him. Tell him about why is it not working out and give him all the facts. Dont leave him hanging because it may be hard on him as well. Also it maybe that hes been thinking the same but couldnt tell because he was scared as well. Be calm talk to him and tell him its not working out

Breakups can be really tough, and I am facing the same situation now, and all the fears that come with it. Of course every situation is different, but at the end of the day you need to think of your own happiness - there is no point staying in a relationship that is not working for you - in the long run it won't benefit him either. You need to gather up the courage and make a day to speak with him - in person if possible. Take a deep breath and just be honest and kind about where you are at, and why you feel that the relationship needs to end. Try not to be vague, but be compassionate and prepared to hear him out. You do not need to find millions of reasons - there will be 1, 2 or 3 mai reasons that have driven you to this point -just focus on those in the conversation - but don't accuse or put him down. It will no doubt be emotionally painful, but you will both get through this and be able to move onto a happier place in life.

Relationships can be hard. No matter what it is, there should always be honesty in a relationship and transparency. I believe you should talk to your boyfriend peacefully and let him know your feelings and reasons to leave. Make him understand in the politest way possible, so as to hurt him in the least way possible. Because you need to take care of his feelings too and understand how he feels from his side. Also, answer all his questions honestly and leave so he moves on properly. Moreover, if you don't feel like being in a relationship, don't. Don't feel pressurized to be while talking to him. Good luck!

Be gentle with a kind heart as you open yourself up to express yourself to him. Imagine yourself in his position as you say what you need to say to him this will help you. Most likely he will be hurt but if you approach the situation with kindness it will be a better situation for you both. Speaking your truth is so important. Remember that some people are in our lives for a short time others for a longer time and we learn something from every relationship we encounter. He will be ok. You will be ok. You are being re-directed in another direction and this is ok. Say what is on your heart.

Ask your boyfriend if you have time to talk, then try to calmly explain to him that you feel that you don't want to be in the relationship anymore and explain the reasons why. It will be difficult for him and for you, but letting him know that this is the best for the two of you will be reassuring to you too. If he becomes aggressive or you feel unsafe, please notify someone close to you (possibly someone who can pick you up) of what is going on and leave the situation immediately in order to get somewhere safe.

Be straight forward about it. You don't want to string him along. Be as kind as possible. Write down all the reasons why you don't want to be with him. See and practice how you can break it to him as kindly as possible. Do that. Don't beat around the bush. Try to reason with him. Don't be too harsh on him. Don't say things that will bring his self esteem down. And ofcourse put your point across. Stand firm in your decision if you're completely sure that you don't want to be with him. All the best to you.

People change and so does their heart. Your relationship may not have turned out the way you wanted it to be. And it is absolutely normal. Be direct and tell him the truth. Don't beat around the bush. Making excuses and lying would hurt both of you. When breaking up, Do it peacefully. Be prepared for any kind of reaction. And most importantly you don't have to explain yourself. Don't think about what he will think or feel. Just be honest.

You must have reasons as to why you don't want to be with him? So tell him those reasons be honest with him there's no point in treating someone badly or ghosting someone because you can't deal with facing someone and telling them why. Treat people with the same respect as you wish to be treated. It will help them move on to their next relationship easier without feeling like they don't understand as to what went wrong. There was no point in treating people Cruelty so honesty is the best policy, and it saves lines being crossed after which is uncomfortable for both parties.

Make sure he knows not everything is your fault! Be completely honest with him and try and say things in the least hurtful ways possible. Explain to him that things are just not working out and it's just the time. Also, from personal experience I believe you should talk to him about it in real life, instead of over text (If you are able to), as sometimes online break ups can be quite worse than talking it out in person. Possibly refrain from bringing up any memories of you guys as that might make it harder for them to get around the idea of you breaking up with them, best of luck

Be honest about you feelings however still respecting his. Appreciate what he did for you and respectfully and honestly tell him. Relationship end all the time but breaking a heart is delicate and must be treated with respect. You may not want to breakup while making the other person feel like you take him for granted. It is have to find decent people we can connect to these days and this is someone you once love and for whatever reason if the relationship needs to end it is understandable as you what him and yourself to be both happy while in a relationship.

You might talk about what is healthy for you in terms of your desires and aspirations. You might talk about your activities in this direction to show that you are creating movement in that direction. Then you can talk about the support you need to continue on this path. Finally, you can indicate that it is your certain will to continue to follow your desires and aspirations. You could then indicate that your boyfriend can support you in this or not. If you desire, you can say that you do not see how he can support you in this and that you are going elsewhere to continue your activities.

Well, you can be honest about why and when you began to feel this way. That way, you have a reason when he comes with questions. If he truly loves you, he will understand your reasoning and be mature about it. Have a mature conversation with him and be ready for backlash if it happens. The main thing I would say is do not go about from an angry or mad point of view. That will just make things worse. It should be a peaceful conversation. Know that your feelings are valid, and don't let anyone tell you any different.

In my experience people have an easier time accepting bad news or even rejection if they can understand and relate to the reasons and intentions behind it. If you don't want to be with him you should tactfully and considerately communicate to him why you think it would be a bad idea to continue the relationship. Most cases values do not align and I find that if you make it clear that you are not on the same page and you cannot and will not(because of your personal values) do anything to change that; they should respect that you have made a personal decision.

It depends on why you don't want to be with them. Typically, you should always be honest with your significant other. The truth hurts sometimes. However, sometimes it is best to not get into detail with why you want to break up. I had an ex girlfriend who I fell out of love with because of her personality. She had been broken up with before because of her personality, so another break up because of this would make her feel unlovable. So I just said I need time to focus on myself so she wouldn't beat herself up about it. So you don't always have to give your one hundred percent thoughts, but don't leave them with no explanation.

Its important to be honest and straight up out of respect to him and the relationship you guys are in. You should definitely try to sit and talk it out as calmly as possible with the hopes that he understands. Although he most likely will be upset, he will get over it and will be happy that he isn't holding you back from being with someone who truly makes you happy. In the moment it will be difficult, however at the end of the day, you both will end up finding the right person. I recommend starting the conversation when he is in a good mood and is calm. Begin by saying how much you have appreciated your time together and try to lean into explaining the reason why you do not want to be with him anymore.

Firstly, it depends on how is your relationship with your boyfriend. If you have an okay relationship with him, I think it would be best if you sit down and have the hard discussions. I know it is going to be hard, but I think if you both respect each other, I think it will fine. I think you should figure out exactly how, what and when you are going to break the news to him. And if your relationship with your boyfriend isn't that good, maybe you could find a neutral setting to break the news to him. Make sure your safety is priority.
