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

Sit over coffee and remind him of all the good memories between you both and then tell him about the bad ones and finally get to the point and spill it out......hopefully both of you won't be hurt.

Shoot it straight away. Tell the guy its not gonna work anymore. That you need to be free of him, or if its a flaw, work with him to alleviate it. Good relations are just like good recipes. They need an investment of time and willingness to improve life. If the two of you are failing in translating your good intentions, or finding a lack of intent, then address it straight away.

You're really great but I don't think this is working out for me. You don't have to change , maybe we weren't meant to be. Goodbye

Don't wait for a "good moment" to tell him. There will never be a good moment to tell bad news. You'll only be delaying the inevitable and he will feel it. With that in mind, wait to be in a good environment. You don't want to do it in public where he could feel trapped and ill at ease to process the info. You want him to be in a place where he can express his feeling without being embarrassed. It is important for closure to tell him why you don't want to be with him anymore. Try and find answers to the question you could have asked if/when you were in his position. It feels bad to breakup with someone when the other seems to still love/like you and you've fallen out of it and you'll feel guilt, but by breaking up as soon as you are sure, you are respecting the other's feeling by not lying to them about still liking them and that's also how you'll feel better.

It is a hard thing to do. It is. But I think that you should definitely do that. Do not postpone it because it can get worse. You shouldn't feel like it is your fault because it is not. If you don't feel comfortable in that relationship then you shouldn't be in it. Just take a few deep breaths and calm down. Explain to him gently why you don't want to be with him (or her). Don't start a fight or anything and speak to him directly about the problem in your relationship. Don't gossip or anything because it will get worse. And if he still doesn't understand don't stress about it. You tried to end things on some good terms and it is great. If he gets angry let him be.

you be honest and point out the reasons why you dont want to be with boyfriend any more , it will give him some understanding of why the split and also you might be able to stay friends after splitting up and least you can be friends rather than just part and not speak anymore,i think honesty is best policy as he might not want split , and its best comming from yourself and not second person,you can only be honest and give reasons why relationship not working , you never know he might agree with what you say to him after all

Be caring in the way you word things and calmly start the conversation about your feelings and how they developed over time. Take this time to hear some of his thoughts and see if he can agree on any valid points you might bring up - as to why it may be a good idea to end the relationship. If it doesn't go as well, then just say you need to do it for your own personal reasons of not being in an unhealthy relationship.

In this situation, the best thing to do is be straight to the point and honest with him. If he found out you were thinking about it for ages, he’d be more hurt by the fact he was led on for so long. By the time you eventually decide to tell him he may have already been over it if you’d told him how you felt immediately. In my opinion you should discuss any thoughts and doubts immediately with your partner so as to avoid as much pain and prevent prolonging the emotional hurt as much as possible. It’s better to tell him as abruptly and soon as possible. It’s whats best for the both of you.

tell him honest what you feel, talk nicely and try to treat him how you would want to be treated. If he gets mad, try to stay calm.

Look here, I don't really know how to turn this idea to words, but I'll try my best. But when I say this, I really mean it,because this is not some kind of a joke. you are a very nice person, with lots of good qualities, and it is so clear that you have a good future ahead. but I am not the one for you. I understood this ,and decided to tell you this after giving it a very good consideration. My darling,let's end this here. You will find someone better than me, very soon.And on that day you will realise that I was right. Take care of yourself.

Take him to a quiet space where you both can feel comfortable and gently explain to him some of the reasons you don't feel that you should be together anymore. Make sure you are certain and confident in your views as many breakups are not usually mutual and he may take some convincing. Sooner rather than later is always better and staying friends (without leading them on) is always a better resolution.

There is multiple ways. First of you can ask yourself, what do you feel more comfortable with? Do you feel more comfortable with: A) just straight on telling him. B) Telling him nicely, then explaining why. C) Just leave without him knowing. And just do what you feel is best. I'll be here for you. Keep me posted! :) If you feel like this just won't do and your way to scared to try it, then we can go with something else. Just think to yourself, do you really want to break up? You know you better than anyone else. Also, you know him better than anyone else too! So what do you think will hurt him more, if you don't care about hurting him, then it doesn't matter. If you do, make sure you can talk, and explain to him in a good manner. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable do it! :)

There is no best way to tell except to address the actual, factual issues why you don't want to be with him. You may choose to write an elaborate email, or a handwritten letter, or whatever works for you. Giving in writing helps the person to get time for it to sink in and most of the major fights/disagreements can be avoided in this scenario. List out to him clearly, that you may still be in love with him, but you don't feel driven to be with him. You may choose to tell him his good qualities too, and explain how you are just a changed person now with time.

It’s just a matter of being honest. Tell him how you feel and show that you are doing what is best for you. It can be really hard sometimes to think that you may be hurting him or letting him down but sometimes you just need to look out for yourself and do what’s best for you. I find that talking about how you are feeling with him can be a really good way to assess the situation. That way you are both on the same page and can communicate honestly with each other. There is no malicious intent it’s just a matter of doing what’s right for you

Well that's such a harsh thing to say and it could hurt his feelings, try to be honest and take it easy, I mean, try to be calm and not rude. If you are pretty sure about this, you should tell me and explain him why and what goes wrong, maybe he feels the same as you! good luck dear and if you need anything with it, let me know!

Honesty is key! Tell him how you feel and why you don’t want to be with him. Tell him that your decision doesn’t take away from the times you’ve already had together and that you wish him the best(if you do). Tell him you’re sorry to hurt him but your mind is made up and you have to follow your heart to be happy. Say goodbye! The more you drag it out the more it hurts everybody. Don’t sugar coat the truth because it’s not going to do anybody any good. Hopefully you both learn from the experience and carry on as a better person in your next relationship.

There's no easy way of telling someone that, so i think honesty is key here. Don't make up a reason, tell him the truth. Feelings change and so do people.

Be honest and straight forward, if you procrastinate it only makes you start to wonder if you really should leave him. If he asks for a reason why, you don't have to give him one. It can be very difficult especially if you've been together for a long time, but if you don't want to be in that relationship anymore you don't have to. Don't let him guilt trip you into staying with him. Be gentle but firm when breaking the news, he might be sensitive. Being honest with yourself is important when doing it, think of why your leaving him if he tries to change your mind

Be up front and honest with him. Speak how you feel, why you wish to end it, but don't go at it aggressively, be easy on him.

Have you considered how and why you feel this way ? Perhaps make a pros and cons list or sit down and talk to your boyfriend about your feelings. If you don’t feel comfortable doing so then seek advice from a relative or counsellor. Take time out for yourself as you may just be needing to focus on yourself or need a little space. What you’re feeling is natural but if you have made up your mind then sit down calmly and talk about it first. Another way is to explain how you’re feeling and why and maybe hear your boyfriends side of the story

An honest heart-to heart conversation usually helps more than other methods. You may want to prepare for this conversation though - Go over it in you mind a few times, if it helps write down the points you want to speak out. Feel free to confess. A heart-to-heart has a better chance of you having a less stressful break-up. You may even continue to be great friends!

Talk to him about how you're feeling, and why. Communication is key. A breakup is very difficult, but I believe that through healthy communication, you will be able to overcome this hurdle. Of course it's going to be challenging, and it might hurt, but that's what Listeners are here for! We have your back, and we support you! Remember to try your hardest to refrain from any negative words. Don't react on impulse. Talk to them with kindness, and words from your own heart. Taking this first step is the hardest. But I know you are strong and you can do this!

Reach a mutual agreement .its okay if you are firm about it.it will be hard at first but if you've seen the long term plan and dont see him as a part of the future you have planned for yourself ,tell him kindly and wait for him to respond. If he doesn't agree,dont force him. pray about it and ask friends for help and come to a conclusion.Seek help from elders and close friends or people who have gone through it previously. Dont bottle up all the emotions.uf you've come to this decision rashly take a step back and think about what you'd want most right now.go back down the memory lane,stroll through the future most importantly live and breathe the present

Take him to something that he likes to do. Explain to him that you've had fun, but that you don't believe this relationship is heading where you want it to. You explain that it's been over in your mind for a while. If he tries to keep you around, explain to him that he deserves someone who actually loves him.

i'd recommend you do this face to face. its always a good option to choose healthy ways to end something on a good note. maybe go on a lunch and tell him how you feel, completely. give him all the reasons. try to make him understand but do not show any signs of confusion. if he gets that he has an option he'll try talking you out of it and the situation can go downhill pretty quickly. so be careful with words and try to be understanding if he gets upset or something. You'll feel good about ending things as properly as possible even if you don't want to. - just a casual advice as i don't know the details!

If you think that you are done with your boyfriend, then it's better to let him know than keep him in the dark fearing his reaction or fearing hurting him because not letting him know could hurt him more. But how to let him know, depends on the kind of person he is. Some people may be so sensitive that they may not be able to handle it at one shot, so maybe you can keep hinting subtly that you are done. Though this may not be the most respectful of the ways, your boyfriend might take the hint and breakup up with you. If your boyfriend seems like a mature person, then talk to him about how you feel like you have reached a dead-end, and end it on good terms. The chances are that your boyfriend may also have felt like it is over, and in such a mutual case, it is better to communicate openly. Though there is no denying the fact that ending things could hurt your boyfriend, and to a certain extent you also, but it could be better to get it done with.

Just tell him. Think about it, find a good place and try to understand him. Think what is he feeling and understand him.

I would sit down with your boyfriend and have an open discussion about your worries and how your feelings have changed towards wanting a relationship. Be honest, kind and remain open and honest.

I think the kindest thing you can do to allow him and yourself closure, is to be honest about how you are feeling

Honesty is always the best policy. These type of conversation are never easy. Just let him know how you feel and be forward about. Giving him a clear explanation will help give him closure. Also a face to face conversation would be best. A phone call or text message would be so impersonal. One thing that may help you go about this is thinking of you would like to be told by someone else. Putting yourself in their shoes will give you a better understanding of how they might feel or react to the situation. Last tip would be don't linger. Says what needs to say and move on. This will keep the situation from escalating.
