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

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.
