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

You should be polite but straight about it. There's no easy way to do this, but you can choose to be honest as a token of respect for the man you've been with for a time.

Say its hard but you dont feel love anymore and you feel like he needs to move on but still be friends

Simply be honest with him. If you are no longer happy in this relationship, you need to be sure he knows.

You need to be open and honest. You need to make sure he understands even if won't accept it at first. It is far better to take your time and make sure he knows the reasons than to just offer and excuse and leave. You may not love him anymore, you may not have feelings for him but try to picture if this was happening to you and what you would need to hear in order to move on quickly.

Hey there, you can tell him that you thought about a lot of things and finally you understood that you need to be alone in this period of time. That you want to break up because it is the best for you and you know that he will feel better too after you break up. Tell him the reasons why and maybe you can still keep in touch sometimes... don‘t be scared of what he will say, if he truly liked you, he will also accept your decision.

Let him down easily, but be truthful when explaining why you decided to break up with him. One thing that causes confusion in breakups would be lying to them to keep from hurting their feelings. Just be as honest as possible. Also, be clear on the reason why. If it’s not his fault, make that known. If he did something wrong, also make that known.

In my personal experience the best way is to be upfront and tell him exactly what you are feeling and why, remember to stay calm throughout it all and realize you are hurting him but also remember you are breaking it off for a reason and stay firm in that reason. I hope this helps you in any way!

Breakups are never easy, but unfortunately it’s one of those things... if you know it’s what you want... you just need to take a deep breath and do it. Be honest, Write out what you’re going to say first if it helps you process... but don’t ever be that person that breaks up with someone through text or email. You’re better than that.

It’s best to reflect on your feelings and ask yourself if this is really what you want. If it is, then you have to do it immediately. Tell him that you need to talk, and don’t be vague about it. Tell him exactly what you feel. Do not be afraid of sharing your thoughts.

try and let him down easy. put yourself in his shoes. let him know that if you’re unhappy in the relationship, is it really a relationship?

I think it's important first to talk about the good side of a relationship and of himself. And then you start talking from your angle, starting with a sentence ''I... ''. For example, ''I feel like I am different now and need to move on with my life. I know what you need and what you're looking for and I'm afraid I can't give it to you anymore. You deserve someone who will love you fully not partially. I feel like I need to move on now and start following my path.'' These are the exact words I said to my ex. I did love him at that time but just felt that our roads are not the same anymore.

Be completely honest with him and keep your reasons personal. Leave absolutely no doubt that you are breaking up with him. The worst thing to do is give him false hope. Your words are powerful and you need to be clear and concise. Don't speak to fast either. Allow him to absorb what you're saying and ask him if he understands. Try to stay calm during the process. He will likely be very upset.

I would tell him in a subtle way. If he is a nice guy and its you not him then let him know that. If he did something to offend and hurt you and thats the reason please let him know what he did wrong so he can understand where you are coming from. If you are not attracted to him anymore but he did nothing wrong I would let him know he did nothing wrong and that it would be better if you were friends. If in any way you could be nice and not break his heart please do so.

It’s a big step to take and it’s important to ensure you’re ready to break it off. Firstly, have you tried to voice the differences that you feel are preventing you from connecting fully? As if no, that would be the first step to take. Many people break things off without taking that first step as they are very afraid to be vulnerable. How does that fit with you. Should you decide, go forward at a time that suits you both and go forth gently. If you are sure, tell your partner that the relationship is not working for you. Then state the reasons why.

I find it best to be upfront and honest. But do it over voice, video, in person and similar, even though it's tough, it's what they deserve. Sit them down, say that you have been thinking about the relationship for a while. Say the truth as to why, but let him down gently. Involve memories and compliments to make it more personal. An example as to what I mean is if you want to say that you don't have feelings for him anymore, you could say something like; "I'm sorry. I can honestly say that you are an amazing person and we have had incredible adventures together, like the time we went to and happened(or anything personal), so I don't know why it is this way (or; and it makes me feel even worse for saying this), but I have lost the feelings that I had and I feel like we're growing in separate directions." Answer any questions he has, get closure for the both of you. If there's hope and he's willing to work through it, while you are too, then take it. And keep in mind that most people go through stages of grief after a relationship, so just having someone to hug, to allow yourself to cry around and share memories with will help a ton. And don't take this too literally as these are my own experiences & thoughts. You need to do what feels right for the both of you. Either way, best of luck. :)

I would recommend that you approach him about the topic in a kind, frank, and honest manner with him. It is normal for relationships to break apart. Sometimes there is a fault in one or both partners, other times there is really not a fault in anybody -- things just don't work out. Regardless, make sure to approach him about it kindly and frankly. Be direct and to the point with him without coming off as harsh or overly court. It is a balancing act, but the important thing is that you communicate your feelings to him honestly.

I suggest being completely honest. Explain to him how you are feeling and the reasons behind such feelings (if you are comfortable with sharing them with him). Coming from someone who has stayed in a relationship much longer then I should have, I know that you have to do what you think is best for yourself. Although it may be difficult to tell him, it is the best thing to do and you must remember to take care of yourself before anyone else. You have my full support and the support of so many others here, and we will be here to help!

If you're able to, pick a time that's good for you both and just sit and talk. He's going to have some questions and strong emotions, it's important you remain calm and answer these. Make sure you're happy and tell the truth and if he's a good guy, he'll understand! Is there a strong reason why you dont want to be with him? If he does something that makes you feel unsafe or unhappy, make sure you contact the appropriate person, and speak to someone you're comfortable with such as a friend, teacher or parent. Let me know if I can help anymore!

I want it to be clear that there is no perfect way of breaking up ... it will always be emotional ,heartbreaking and messing for both partners .However there are ways to lessen the pain experimented and make it a less traumatic event .Firstly being 100% sure of your decision of leaving ...the breakup may shake you up emotionally and you may regret doing so and try to come back which will make it more painful for both of you .Secondly Finding the right words,you know your partner well and you know how his reaction may be .Find the "right" words may make it easier to digest . Thirdly finding the right place and time .I usually recommend a rather neutral and public area at a time of the day /on a day he/she will be calm ,open to discussion and relaxed .My last suggestion is to be honest and frank .Not losing time and being honest about how you feel about the relationship and what you want to do now ..is important .Staying true to yourself and trying to be the nicest possible is the best sign of respect and affection one can give during a breakup instead of delivering all made up sentences caught in movies or songs.i hope this will be useful

Whilst it absolutely sucks! You need to respect yourself and do it in person! Meet up with him, be honest and tell him you want to be happy!! That will help it be on good terms. Tell him that you have enjoyed what you have had and what it included but explain what has gone wrong and what you would like. If he really loves you, he will respect you. From then, don't talk for a while and maybe you guys can be friends again so that you can end on good terms!!!! Good luck and hope it goes well!

There are a few ways you could tell him. If you would prefer to avoid confrontation, you could email, text or ring him. You could confront him if you feel comfortable with it. With relationships, it can be hard when someone you like breaks up with you, no matter how old you are. So he may feel sad or upset but just know that it's far better you to tell him now. If you continued to date him as you didn't want to hurt his feelings but you no longer liked him, it wouldn't help. You'd be unhappy and he'd be in love with someone who doesn't love him back. So like I said, best way to break up with someone if you want to avoid confrontation is text, phone, or email. :)

Be honest with him, tell him why you don’t want to be with him. Don’t leave any unanswered questions, get it all off your chest. You should be truthful to the one you had dated before, therefore you should respect him and let him know the reasons why you don’t want him anymore. Your boyfriend is someone you dated and had considered to be a significant other. Respecting him and you is important. Don’t leave any unanswered questions, and just be truthful to him overall, because if you don’t, things will be left dry and at least maintain a good image.

First of all, be sure that you really want this, as this kind of decisions are important for both of you! Try to find the cause of why you came to this point. Then listen to him and try to understand his point of view too. Explain your decision and be kind with your feelings. Give arguments and things that will help him understand. Avoid blaming him, take this as a whole experience, as a journey or a life chapter that has to come to an end. In the end assume your decision and learn to live with it.

The very simple and subtle answer is create some private space, discuss with him what's not going good in your relationship, why you don't want to be with him and go your separate ways without any hard feelings. However you may separate none should have guilt-feel after the separation. And yes while you separate with each other you shouldn't point all the mistakes they've made. It is the end of a certain type of relationship, you two may have to cross paths on further course of your life, leave as good friends. Don't spread bad rumors about anyone, and if you're wanting to not be with him due to some rumors(as such things are common these days) talk to him and go thoroughly with that!! Good day and all the best!

Be honest about your feelings and respectful in the way you express them. Try to talk about your feelings in the first-person "I" instead of sharing them with "You make me feel..." Try to think about what is the best way you would want someone to tell it to you, if you were in his shoes. Be patient with yourself, and be generous in your expectations of how he may react in his feelings or words. Remember that life does not always have to be perfect in every moment, and that we are all trying to make it work in our own ways.

Tell him that you no longer feel the same, that you need some time for yourself and not for the rest. Speak it with security, because if it sees you insecure you will think that somehow it will be able to convince you so that you do not finish with it. Give him good reasons, with valid arguments. Be totally honest and honest, that will be the best. If your reaction ends up being bad do not worry, you should stay calm and leave if necessary, in any case you have already made it clear. All gonna be okay!

Don't tell him.. Talk to him. Find a place to sit and talk, start by telling him how was your experience of this relationship, ask his experience. Tell him what you are thinking and why. Because everyone deserves a reason. Slowly and steadily, work upon coming to a mutual decision, so that it doesn't impact anyone's life in a harsh way. If he doesn't agrees to breakup, ask him why, and then make him understand your point of view. I hope this answer will help you to get out of a relationship which you doesn't want anymore. Wish you luck dear.

Approach the conversation with calmness and a positive mind set. explain to him that you do not think that your relationship with your partner is not working out the way you wanted it to starting your partnership. he may be frustrated or upset, but empathize with how he is feeling in this moment, and always remember to stay calm. if your partner continues to show violent or angry signs with intent to hurt you or themselves, do not try to diffuse the situation, instead get out as soon as possible and call the police if you feel that it is necessary.

For you to get to the point in a relationship where you feel you no longer want to be in that relationship will be difficult for both parties involved. So the best way to deal with a situation like this in my opinion and taking the situation surrounding the imminent break up into serious consideration is to be completely honest with your partner and do so with compassion but you also have to take into account that his reaction could also be unexpected so you have to plan for all that. One thing you've got to remember is love is no charity and nobody should feel obligated to be or remain in a relationship they don't want to be in.

I am going to go out on a limb here and just say that honesty is always the best policy. I think that goes for your situation as well. It will inevitably hurt both of you but in the long run, I think that being straightforward is the best way to handle any situation. As long as what you are saying is true and not intentionally hurtful you have the truth on your side. If you stay with someone one day longer than you want to be with them you are keeping them away one day from the person that they are truly meant to be with.
