boyfriend help: how do i break up with my boyfriend without hurting him too much? - Help.com

Well if he’s got feelings for you at all then it’s going to hurt him. The best thing you can do is just be honest with him about the reasons for your calling it a day.

agreed, He might want to work on whatever the reason is that you broke up, so it doeesn’t happen with his next girl. Be nice about it though.

Stress that you guys are not compatible and provide examples.

Sorry to tell you this, but its going to hurt no matter how gently you let him down.

Text him and tell him you don’t want to see him anymore, that’s how celebrities do it.

Yeah, coz celebrities always set SUCH good examples!

Yeah i get i am gonna hurt him.. i broke up with him once. It hurt him so bad that i gave in to go back out with him.
i like him… its just that theres somebody else that it feels right with.
nd adam (the one im breaking up with? isnt a great boyfriend. He has problems, and im the only one who deals with him.
I cant take it anymore.
We’ve gone out 6 times. Hes broken my heart 5 of the times.
Im done. Im moving on from him.
I just dont want to hurt him too much.
And Btw, the only good comments i received on here are from dorian.

Um, thanks! If you’re leaving him for someone else, it’s probably best to leave that bit out when you talk to him.

lol. Yeah… i know i probably will.
wev broken up many times tho.
we always manage to stay friends but iv never been the one breaking up with him its always been him breaking up with me.
but il try my best ……….

other than the other day of breaking up with him.

um, ok, so I guess that I wasn’t helpful. I tried. You should say exactly what you said here: It doesn’t feel right anymore, you need to move forward and that you don’t want to hurt him. Tell him that you wish him luck with all, and that youhope that he finds somebody that is more compatible with him.

Wow.. I have the same problem but my bf cheated on me four times.. I broke up with him once but I felt terrible so I toke go back but then he just recently broke up with me and called crying so I took him back… I don’t know why to do right now.. It hurts me A LOT.. Everytime I hear certain songs I break down and cry because it hurts me so bloody much… he doesn’t listen half the time to what I have to say.. I just want all the hurt and pain to be gone.. Also on top of it all I am falling hard core for one of my parents friends son who likes me too.. I don’t know what to do or how to say goodbye or the best way to say goodbye.. Someone Please Help Me… I cry all the time thinking about it…. /3

Hunny, if your ex bf keeps hurting you repeatedly, you just need to LET HIM GO! I know that isn’t easy to hear, and even harder to do, but do you have any reason to believe that you will be less hurt in 5 years if you keep going back to him? I doubt it. You will likely feel that you have wasted more time and be angry at yourself for letting good guys slip by. Let him go. He has had his chance to show how he feels about you. Let this new guy have his chance. Enjoy it. No more tears, I don’t think that your ex is worth it. You are, so do this for you.

Most men aren’t worth shedding tears over, and the ones who are won’t make you cry
