I want to break up with him but I feel bad

I’ve been dating this guy and at first I really liked him but now I don’t really feel much towards him plus I only get to see him once a week which is kinda shite. It’s only been 4 months. He has tried to end it twice at the start of the relationship and I was adamant that we wasn’t breaking up but after that, I just want to be alone.. when we’re talking over text I get annoyed at everything he says.. he irritates me. I tried breaking up with him and he said no and that if I did he would still come to my house and act as if everything is normal. He’s a lovely guy but he acts like a little child at times and he has gay tendencies

What do I do?
I enjoy his company but at the same time I don’t want to be with him

Gay tendencies? What exactly does this mean?

Just text him that it's over & that if he turns up at your place you'll call the police. Job done.

Just breakup with him. You can't say "no" to be broken up with. It doesn't work like that

Oh and if he keeps coming round, don't answer the door and call the police if it turns into harassment. And change the locks if he has keys.

What? No. If you break up with him and he turns up at your house you don't let him in. If he continues you call the police.

What?

He tried to break up with you, and you didn't let him. Now you're trying to break up with him and he says no?

Just tell him it's over and change the locks if you need to. Also, what he's threatening with can be classed as harassment if you don't want to him around.

Really? You get annoyed at everything he says by text and he acts like a child. No idea what "gay tendancies" means. Just dump him.

Where did you both get the idea that people aren't allowed to break up with people?

Gods sakes, text him and say it's over. If he turns up at your house, don't let him in. If he won't go away, call the police. You have agency here (as did he at the start of the relationship, mind you.)

How old are you?

Motnight · 28/08/2021 14:03

So you refused to let him break up with you at the beginning of the relationship 🤣

ThatLibraryMiss · 28/08/2021 14:09

He has tried to end it twice at the start of the relationship and I was adamant that we wasn’t breaking up [...] I tried breaking up with him and he said no

You're as bad as each other. You were begging him not to leave you back in June, when you were advised to bin and block. That's a lot of breakup attempts for only four months, and if you only see each other once a week you haven't really got a "normal".

No need to go all dramatic, changing locks and involving the police. Break up with him and keep saying No, this relationship is going nowhere. Because it isn't.

Funnylittlefloozie · 28/08/2021 14:09

Breaking up doesn't work like that. If you don't want to be in this relationship, you just end it. You tell him you dont want to be with him any more, and you stop speaking to him. Thats how you break up with someone. It isn't a joint decision.

Breaking up doesn't work like that. Is he 12 years old???
