How do I end it?!

[oneday123]

So this is kind of sad but in all my relationships I've always been dumped! Weather it be by surprise or if I've waited until the other person does it (cowardly I know) but now the boot really is on my foot. Without sounding arrogant my DP wants to be with me, ending it wouldn't even cross his mind, but I'm just not there anymore. I don't hate him or anything like that, but he's not 'the one' he's starting to really get on my nerves- and he hasn't really done anything wrong!! So my question is how the heck do you dump someone?!

How long have you been together ? It's never easy but a sit down and an honest conversation is needed. Keep it simple and to the point , just say it's not working for you and you want to call it a day. Good luck

Don't be subtle or give false hope & certainly none of that hope we can be friends bollocks.

Just tell them that it's not working for you, so you're calling it a day & wish them well for the future. Whatever you do, don't give them false hope for a reconciliation.

Done has to mean done.

I'm similarly struggling with this decision and the upset it would cause. I think I've passed the point of no return but can't quite bring myself to do it. I do like him and can't bear to hurt him. Sad at the thought of not seeing him but equally hard work when i do! watching with interest....

"I'm very sorry, but we are not compatible and I am not happy, so I am ending the relationship"

You don't need a reason to leave that is any more elaborate than the fact that the relationship isn't working for you.
