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

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!

It seems like you’re unhappy in the relationship you’re currently in, I’m sorry to hear that. If I was you I’d try and talk things through and talk about any issues before jumping the gun and ending it completely. If you’re really sure that you don’t want to be with him anymore, I would personally tell him, it’s not fair on either him or you. But think about any consequences that may occur after the breakup. Don’t do it over text or the phone either, make sure it’s in person, this will allow you to both express your emotions equally. Good luck!!

You could start by telling him that you've appreciated him while you've been together. But a lot of the time people grow apart and change, and that's ok. It's ok to tell them that you feel you have changed and feel that your situation is no longer a good fit for either of you, after all, you wouldn't want him to feel he was with the wrong person either. If you have changed, then you are no longer the person he fits with. It works both ways. So you could tell him that you think of him in this decision as well as yourself.

Be as straightforward as you can. Also, let him know the exact reason as to why you no longer feel like being with him. This is a sensitive subject, be as polite as possible. Understand his feelings too. You are free to make a decision whether you would want to be with him or no but also remember that it is you who wants to break up & not him. Therefore, give him some time to fathom this fact. If he is the emotional one, it is going to take him more time than usual. Once you have confessed about your decision, be patient. If this is difficult for you, it will be equally difficult for him too or even more than that but being honest & direct about it will save you both from further exhaustion. Because if you do not tell him and act weird around him (which is bound to happen) he won't understand the reason behind your weird behavior. So, it is better to tell him at the earliest. As it is, the sooner you tell him the better it will be for you both. And only then you guys would be able to move on with your lives.

The best way to end a relationship is to be honest, kind and empathetic. You have to understand that this is going to be difficult for him to hear so be clear about your intensions and give him the opportunity to share how he is feeling so that you both stay on the same page. It's helpful to use "I" sentences instead of "you" so that he doesn't feel like you are blaming him for anything but instead that you're talking about your feelings and experiences. Overall, just understand that it may take time for him to not be upset anymore and be kind.

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.

Relationships can be difficult at times - especially if you no longer want to be in them. It may not be easy to tell someone that you no longer want to be in the relationship with them. It can be hurtful to the person. However, it can be more hurtful to live a lie. Others can tell most times if you are truly in the relationship with them and are genuine or not. In past relationships, I have worked with how I was best able to communicate my emotions to the person and the best way for them to understand where I was coming from. I also considered their feelings. If I felt that the person would argue with me or want to resort to begging, I would write them a letter. Not a text messege. Writing a letter gives them a chance to truly see how you feel as long as you communicate this effectively. Try not to put the person down or speak unkind words. Point out some good things ou have experienced in the relationship. This may soften the blow. Speak honestly and kindly. I hope this helps. Good luck!

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.

Meet up with him face to face and calmly explain to him. It is likely that they will get emotional, but keep your own cool.

I'd recommend approaching the topic gently, at a neutral place and an unrushed time. Don't be cruel with your reasons, but make sure that he knows why this is happening.
