Argh so I've decided I need to end things with my bf. He's a great guy, we have a lot of fun together but it's been over a year and it's got no future and ultimately I think I love him in a friendship way not a romantic way.

So I've got to end it but I feel sick. I don't want to hurt him but I'm probably going to Sad It would be easier if he was a scumbag but he isn't and he hasn't done anything wrong but letting things go on longer when I'm not feeling it would be much worse wouldn't it?

Um, smashing anything in anger is unacceptable behaviour DistantSun. I stand by my original comment.

Sounds like you made the right decision cake

Being upset, absolutely fair enough. Destroying somebody else's property is not ok and suggests anger issues.

DistantSun, how is an excuse to justify it? No justification needed and I agree that it shows anger issues if you can't control your temper in that way. Most people would be upset yes but wouldn't act like that. Poor guy my arse.

It will hurt him for sure but best to be open and honest
My recent ex decided she would sleep with a few guys behind my back as her way of saying she wanted out! This really really hurts!
You did the right thing _ at least you have kept you dignity and not disrespected him which in time will help you both to move on.
Good luck to you both
