How do I break up with my girlfriend?

Unless she has arrived at the same conclusion as you have and the break up is a mutually desirable ending to the relationship then I'm here to tell you, hurt is going to happen.

Anybody who says they want to break up but dont want to hurt their partner have to be some of the most naive people to walk this planet. If your partner doesn't know, it makes no difference whether the relationship is 5 weeks old or 5 years old there is going to be hurt involved. If you want out, you inflict the hurt and you live with it.

You sit down face to face and you say something along the lines that after long hard thought or prayer (which ever way you bend) that you have arrived at a life changing decision that you need to do and that is leave the relationship. You have a few memorized lines and you basically repeat them as necessary. Do not allow the conversation to get off track. Do not start offering excuses because for every one offered will be a reason from the other person on how can they fix it.

You don't need to give reasons all that is necessary is that it's what is best for you and you need to do it. You can say if you want though it doesn't help much that they have done nothing wrong but you need to do this for you. You should hope they get angry and you walk away fuming at each other.

If you think you can end a relationship without hurting your partner and walk away guilt free you are wrong. Make it face to face. Make it honest and don't drag it out then leave.

Tell her that you are like somebody else
