I want to break up, but I’m afraid of hurting him?

Well, I’ve been with my boyfriend for over a year now, but I feel it’s time to break up. I can hardly see him anymore, since he lives far away now, I cant even talk to him for weeks at a time snce he doesnt have internet… Honestly, I’ve felt this way for a good while now… But I’m scared, for his sake. He takes me very seriously. Some quotes from his emails:
“maybe, this relationship could work out in the end”

“you are the single most important thing in my life”

“you are my shining star in my world full of demons”

Keep in mind, we’re both 17. But I feel like… he’s taking me way too seriously. I think he may be a bit, depressed, or unstable? I’m afraid of what may happen to him if I leave him. But, I just, I cant do it anymore…

The distance and lack of communication means can work to your advantage here…. just fade out of his life…. no big drama…. no big arguement…. just don’t answer his calls as regularly…. let him think he is moving on at the same speed as you… he’ll get over it eventually….. we all do!

well its up to you, but if you feel that you still love him, don’t give up ok!,and you just wait him,like me before of my boyfriend now,we broke up many times but i’d never give up because i love him a lots, and i know its only trials, and on that time when he broke me up, i don’t care what did he doing in his life,but i am always waiting for him, and i still look after him even sometimes he’s crazy because i know he is crazy already,and now he realized it that i am the only one gurl in the world can do that to him and now we staying together and lover’s forever hehehe…so don’t give up sis, just wait for him if you still love him, but if it’s not,its up to you or “KICK HIS ***” heheheh if you’ll see him hehehe joke!!!

oh my god this is really freaky, i am totally going through the same thing!! Well almost anyway. My boyfriend always texts me saying “i love you my darling” (cringy, i know!) he blabers on and on about me to all his friends all the time, he’s desperate for me to go round to his house to meet his parents (we’ve only been going out for a month!) and the problem is i just really dont want to go out with him anymore my feelings that i had for him have just completley disapeared. He is absolutley mad about me but i know he doesnt love me its just about the looks because he doesnt know much about me, we only ever talk about him. I know it’s gonna be hard but its something that i just HAVE to do. I am going to act a bit distant during a couple of weeks im not going to answer his phone calls as much and when i do i will sound really down and i wont talk much. Then i will arrange a time to meet up with him (or in your case if its really impossible to meet up with him, you’ll have to do it on the phone and apologise and say you know its not a very nice way to do it, but there was no other way..) but i will warn him before that its not good news. Then i will have to tell him, and explain to him how its not working. Im not saying its gonna be easy, but its an experience in life we have to take because, how else are we gonna find out and understand these things? its just a part of life, its experience. And dont worry, he’ll get over it, i mean he cant be moping about you for all his life! and know that you arent the only one with these problems! im right with you girl! ;)
good luck!
