Have to end it but don’t want to

[NCExpert2026]

Anyone had to end a relationship that they didn’t want to end? No abuse, no cheating, neither of us want it to end but it has to. How do you get through it?

Why does it need to end? Is it an affair?

If neither of you want to end it, why does it need to end?

The only thing I would advise is zero contact. You cannot be ‘friends’ or you’ll be right back where you started.

Definitely not an affair, just a complex situation.

🙄 how can anyone comment without the info? Massive dripfeed incoming...

Well you obviously don't want to end it. Need more info

What are you related or something? What is complex?

If you both don't want it to end, figure it out! Find a workaround for whatever barrier it is.

What a strange OP. How can anyone comment without more information?

More info required or no one can advise you.

If you don't want to end it, then don't.

If you really "have" to end it, then you have no choice, so why ask the question? Just end it.

going by your username OP it seems that you already know what you've got to do..
