breakups SUCK

especially when you are the one that has to do it and you actually still care about the person and want them to be happy. The thing is though, you owe it to yourself to be happy too, and if this person cares about you too they will want that for you.

If you do not see yourself being happy (or if you are unhappy already) then you owe it to the both of you to end it, swift and honest, it does not have to be hurtful just truthful.

ryanrich, thank33 very much RR

but it is also very true: often we get so caught up in what the other person wants or needs ... that you forget about yourself, and often the more time spent in a relationship like that, the more one looses oneself and one's own wants/desires/happiness get lost somehow along the way ...

Wow, that's exactly right, and that's the exact type of situation that I've found myself in recently. Caring too much about somebody, that I was willing to sacrifice what I want and believe in to be with them, even though they weren't willing to compromise anything to be with me. It doesn't work like that, and in such a situation it's best to move on...

@ ryanrich, indeed my dear indeed, it is so easy to lose sight of yourself when you love someone

much like using sms/mms, it's excessively passive aggressive, childish and cowardly... not to mention disrespectful... :?

I agree with you rusty. there is only one way to do it and that is man up and tell her to her face. Be honest but don't be cruel.

lol, I was referring to both your AND Deathstrike's chicks. If it was plural I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with the caring about breaking up. But then again, it is another way to get HER to break up with you. nuf said.

But anyway, sure, if she is the type to cry just for pity to keep you, then ummmm, yeah, I see why you want to break up. :wink:

Like KB said, man up and just tell her. It's not like the world will end. Relationships comes and goes. It's life. If the little 18 year old cannot understand that life is unfair, then so be it. One day she might break up with someone and then she will know what you went through.

I'm so tired of the school kids thinking a break up is the end of the world. :roll:

Wait for her 21st and break up at her party. She'll be drinking and have lots of guys around for a rebound so she shouldn't take it too harshly.
