breaking up with someone is the hardest or the most difficult part in a relationship. the feeling of guilt is there because you can see that the other person still loves you so much and he is such a good person... but you really have to end it. when this happens, do you immediately break up with your partner or do you wait until s/he sees that you have already fallen out of love? do you prefer to keep the relationship even if you are not happy anymore? or do you silently break him? if you choose to be the one to end the relationship, how do you do it?

When things aren't going well with your partner, end it sooner dear. I know it's not an easy thing to do but life has to move on. It's not yet the end of the world so enjoy life. ^_*

my guy friends told me that they feel guilty to break-up with their girlfriends even if they're not happy anymore. Because the girld had been nice and all. So what they would do, is that they would just wait that the girl would be the one to break-up. And during that time...they would be really uhm, unresponsive in the relationship. For me, even if I love the person with all my heart, but then, his not happy anymore...then I'll just break-up and set him free.

you have to do what you need to do , you can't stay with some one just for his sake , sooner or later you will leave him , so sooner is better , we all forget , time heel every thing , and the life will go on , so the right thing is to save your self for putting her in a prison , and so you will save him or her too .

It is hard to break off a relationship, but if you are unhappy and you know that it is not going to get better you should end it as soon as possible. Why drag it out. It won't get any easier later on. It will only get harder.

It sure is hard to break up with a relationship. In fact, I haven't tried--with my latest one, more than 30 years ago, I just moved on to a next relationship without the formal break up with the current one. I knew it must have been difficult on his part, but I chose to be crazy by not telling him that a third party is involved. I could not imagine why I just fell out of love...could be because of a new one. But hey, don't get me wrong. It's not good to just pretend; nor does breaking up an easy task. I was yet immature that time, that's why I did that. Today, I realize that I was just being unfair to my ex. By the way, the "third party" happened to be my husband now.
