i need to break up with my boyfriend but no part of me wants to. what do I do? i love him so much but we’re both looking for different things in life. He wants to date to marry and I always swore i would never marry the first person I dated. He’s the 1st

Break up with him and be fully honest about it. Don’t wait and string him along if you already know you want different things it just wouldn’t be fair to either of you.

Wait so nothing is wrong with the relationship other than you have this weird ass notion not to marry the first guy you date?

I just don’t see us getting to that point, but he’s already trying to shape his future around me. I don’t want to hold him back in life because i’m not ready for that

we want different things in life, I want to travel and try new things and not be tied down. He wants to settle down and have kids and make a life in the next 4 years. Not that there’s anything wrong with his plans, I just would regret if I didn’t experience my 20s while I have them and don’t want to hinder his plans

so it's more than just not wanting to marry the first guy you're dating, it's that you actually want different things. that's far more understandable
