boyfriend help: how do i tell my ex-boyfriend that i don’t want nothing with him? - Help.com

“I don’t want nothing with you. I only want friendship.”

Then just wish for luck, and take an English class to improve that grammar of yours. :D

On the less bitchy side, there really is no other way to say it. No matter what you say, the outcome will be the same. It’s up to the person whether or not they can deal with just being your friend. Your words won’t sway that.

In that case, that’s just the kind of person he is. You shouldn’t stay in a relationship you’re unhappy with just to remain friends with the person though. The only other way I can think of is telling him you’re lesbian, but that’s a pretty big lie. Because you still want to be friends with him, you wouldn’t want a lie like that above your head throughout the duration of the friendship.

If he only wants u as a girlfriend that means he likes u too much.
He won’t be able to be your friend because he’ll go crazy when he sees u with another guy.

He needs time on his own.. a lot of time.. maybe another year.. be honest with him, if he doesn’t want to be friends, give him space.

:S poor guys..

I said poor guys because I’m sorry for them I’ve been on their position.. it’s hard to see the girl you like in the arms of another guy.. that’s what they both fear right now.

But if you don’t want him.. just be honest with him.

heh reemacre you are not helping you are going to get banned stop it.

say hey iam sorry but i want to only be friends with you i see nothing else so please don’t see anything against it.

wow…umm I had this same situation with my ex boyfriend who is now my bestfriend. just be up front with him, tell him in person. The way I started it was “lets take a brake”..then about a month later I told him I didnt feel attracted to him as a boyfriend anymore..I was a horrible brake up and yeah im not gonna lie it was really depressing, he took it really hard. but that was like a year adn a half ago and now were best friends..Soo just be up front with him, let him know why you dont want to be with him anymore, my reason was because he would do drugs behind my back he was a wonderful boyfriend never cheated, but still I wanted more. But I would get a tad bit jealous when he would be “talkin” to other girls. and it would end up they would get into a fight thanks to our still close friendship. my dad told me one night when I was feeling in a since obligated to be with my ex so he would be happy, he said “you cant sacrifice your happiness for someone elses.” Hope I helped let me know how things work out :)

why dont you tell him that you need some time to yourself for closure?

“i think that your great an all, buti would rather treasure you as a friend, then someone more special, because if something was going to happen to make us fall out, we would have a bigger fdall and a harder landing.?

just roughly of course.

hey lil devil…. been awhile… no offense but you’re contradicting yourself, if you want to be his friend, you want SOMETHING to do with him, just not what he wants…
there really is no good way to go about telling this to him… didnt get a chance to read everyone’s replies, but my advice would be to just ask him to be your friend, if he asked about what it means regarding your relationship, then politely tell him that’s the only kind of relationship you want right now. the only girl that successfully succeeded in just being my friend, broke up with me and i didn’t hear from her for about 2 yrs, then by the time we started talking again, i already had a couple of other girlfriends, so i wasn’t interested in striking it back up with her…

good luck

be polite about it and let him know where he stands and if he respects you he will understand

if all he does is beg and beg, then maybe cut communication with him, he has to swallow the pill by himself, it’s his personal work, if you keep giving him time or going to him to talk when he calls you, you are just prorrogating the process..
