I need help, how do you break up with a man who’s done literally nothing wrong but you’re not actually mentally well enough to be in a relationship I thought I was when we started but I think I just actually liked the attention…and I feel so terrible but-

It’s not fair to him to continue being in a relationship where I don’t love him the way he loves me…I don’t even love myself so how tf am I even supposed to love him…he’s so amazing and so perfect but I don’t love him…

as much as it sucks and it’s gonna hurt you’re just gonna have to tell him straight up. he deserves the truth and it might hurt him but at the end of the day it’s what’s best for the both of you

U don’t. U go to therapy and get ur head on straight while ur boyfriend holds ur hand. OR u be honest with yourself (AND him— super important) about why ur really dumping him. He’s gonna see straight through that stuff about “not you it’s me/not being mentally well enough” to “I’m not feeling it”. He’ll blame himself and that’s OK bc he can choose to land on his feet and improve. But only if he understands that he’s not the right guy and has some idea of why that is. So help him understand.

i get it, ive been in a very similar position. i will say, dont be like my ex and do it over text, this is a face to face conversation. especially if you wanna continue being friends. coming from a complete stranger i would say just go somewhere we you can talk and try to explain that you still care for him as a friend but you just don’t think the two of you fit as a couple. it’s hard and there will never be a perfect time or a perfect way to say it but it has to be done.
