So ive been seeing a girl for about 7 months who was previously a friend. Shes pretty, has a good personallity (most ot the time), she is faithful, treats me well and the sex is good but i want to break up with her, where i am in my life i want to be single (alone) to concentrate on what i want to do in my life(studying, chasing my dream career and being selfish).
She lives in leeds i live in middlesbrough so im driving down tonight to give her the news. I feel sick and frankly a dick, shes been nothing but nice to me but i feel as though i have to do it for the reasons mentioned above plus i cant see us together in the future.
Why is it so bloody difficult?
Are my reasons acceptable?
How would you react?

If you don't want to be with her, you don't. You'd not be doing her any favours staying with her out of some sense of duty or guilt.
So whatever the reason, that's how it is and you owe it to her to let her move on and find someone who wants to be with her.
Yes, it's difficult but it is best to be honest.
I wish you the best with it. |

You have my total respect. We have to be true to ourselves and not everyone is going to be forever - but you are handling the situation with a compassion and maturity that is admirable, good luck to you.

Aw you lil heartbreaker!! You're doing the right thing, just do it, apologise and explain but whatever you do, don't use 'it's not you it's me' 
Good luck x |

This sounds exactly like my boyfriend and i a year and a half ago. He dumped me, broke my heart then three months later realised he had been a dickhead. Be careful what you wish for. |

Its not a rash decision, ive had many a sleepless night thinking about this. Theres certain things ive noticed about my self like i have no enthusiasm about anything in the relationship and thats not fair to drag on for either if us. |

Your reasons make sense, of course to her they may not! Total respect to ya for not keeping things going or drawing them out so they end badly. Who knows she might surprise you and wanna be friends again in time.
Best of luck to ya! |

Well if you use the words above then I think that's clear and I personally would have to except that... But emotions get in the way ! It won't be easy ! I'm sure you will see anger and upset! But in the long run you are doing the right thing, just don't send mixed messages coz you are trying to save her feelings ! good luck Hun feel for you Hx |

I think your doing the right thing,it's going to be tough though she'll be angry and upset and it'll take her a while to make any sense of what's going on if she thinks everything has been going great in the relationship hope all goes as well as it can in this situation |

Her reaction will be dependent on what you have promised throughout the seven months.
Frankly I think a seven month fuckship is neither here nor there.
A seven month period of being fed love and commitment is something else.
She may be okay about it.
She may go ballistic.
Only you know what is ending.
Text her before you get there saying you will only be there for about half an hour.
It has to be break ( listen to her fora few mins ) and go.
Trust me. |

I am so glad you're being a man and doing this face to face . You have one life and you have to be true to yourself. You cant live a lie and if she cares for you , She will understand and you never know you could end up with a friend for life . And that's worth a lot. XX |

"You have one life and you have to be true to yourself."
This sums it up perfect to me! A few years ago this was my mentality travelling australia then i came back to study and my life just stalled! Time to get it back on track!
Ive been shortlisted for my dream job which could make the last few years worthwhile and set me up financially so fingers crossed i get to the next phase where i know ill smash the interview!
Hopefully everything starts to fall in to place |

If your not happy with things and came to that conclusion then do what you must at least you are doing it in person and being up front so may are not. |

I was in this situation over a 3 year relationship - despite genuinely intense feelings there was 'something' missing that even no I can't explain into words.
But as horrible as it was I respected and loved her too much to keep flogging it.
Think of it this way - the end it now then you both have more time for you both to find someone else.
Respect for not being a coward about it. |

If someone didn't want to be with me I would sooner them go than stay with me out of pity, or because they wasn't man enough to tell me, she may be hurt at first but in the long run your doing her a favour as if she is at a stage in her life where she does want to settle down she can now find someone who wants her in return and will make her happy |
