Me and my boyfriend are breaking up

Well, we almost made it to the year mark.

Though I believe in my heart that it's the best thing to do, breaking up is hard to do bawl

But, it's not fair to stay in a relationship when your heart isn't in it. It's not fair to him.....So I shall move on....

Any suggestions on how to make "moving on" as painless as possible?

My only suggestion if for you to surround yourself with as many friends as possible and listen to a lot of Joni Mitchell. Those two things helped me move on...or is helping me move on, as I'm not quite over the heartache just yet. But heartache is not dire...

much love!

Being a guru on the subject of breaking up, here's my advice (in no order)

1. Try to avoid blaming yourself or him. It just happened. Ultimately, it's no one's fault.

2. Listen to breakup music. It's therapeutic because the singer is aching along with you. I recommend Damien Rice's "O" album or Nick Cave's "Let Love In."

3. Avoid sentimental romance movies. They'll just depress you.

4. Rally your friends for frequent social activities. I cannot stress the importance of this. Otherwise, you'll think of your ex even more.

5. Don't listen to Barbara DeAngelis. Bitch is crazy.

6. The book "How to Survive the Loss of a Love" is GREAT and helpful. Check it out.

7. For the time being, remove all traces of your ex. This includes gifts he's given you, too. Put it all away in a box and stuff it into the attic. How are you supposed to get over him if you have constant reminders of him staring at you in the face?

8. Don't start dating someone new right away. If you need to get laid, fine. But don't date anyone steadily or start developing feelings for someone new. Trust me--if you do, this will bite you on the ass.

9. If your ex still has shit over at your place, arrange a "come get your shit" day. And when he comes over, be friendly, offer a hug or kiss on the cheek...but be ready for his seduction attempts. All guys try it. I know I have. Men are disgusting.

10. If you need to, see a counselor. There's no shame in it.

Actually Michael Bolton has been known to induce suicidal tendencies in many listeners.

Relationships don't end on account of ONE person. It takes two to fuck things up. Don't carry all the weight of this on your shoulders. I've done that many times. It only makes it hurt worse.

The bad thing about relationships is that if one keeps on loving or wanting to hav that relationship, and the other not, you cannot give "rational advices".

I just wish the best for you and your boyfriend. hug

Not necessarily, its just sometimes one of the members of the couple changes, has new needs, or expects other thing.
Love is not like Mathematics, we just cannot control how we feel. One day we can love intensely, and the next day not.

Just try to be understanding with him, dont blame on you all the time, and dont try to find a rational explanation for this.

Oh yeah! If you break up....stay away from him! Don't go over to see him, don't contact him by phone or email either. If he get's a new girlfriend...don't contact him and go crazy saying that she's not good enough and just putting down the new girlfriend.

It's probably best just to stay away. lol

Sorry to hear about your breakup. I'm sure it's for a good reason. Sometimes it just doesn't click. I was with this one guy for about 3 months and I kind of knew by then that it wasn't happening. I had to break up with him. The unfortunate part is that he was actually a nice guy. But this is not about me....

Good luck in any decision you make, I'm sure it will be the right one for you.
