okay... Here's the problem my boyfriend that I've been dating and living with for a long while is more in love with me than I'am with him. I really want to move and break things off but every time I start to bring up the subject of it not working he starts acting like a baby and makes me feel sorry for him. We've been having problems for atleast 6 months and I rather move on with my life than be stuck in a bad relationship. please help don't know what else I can do. thanks a bunch

Your going to have to stop all sexual activity. Start spending less time at home. Start letting him become use to you not being there. You may want to start getting some of your stuff out slowly so he won't panick.

You can tell him you need to live by yourself for awhile to see if the relationship has any chance of continuing. You can be gentle about it.

IT's hard to get out of a relationship without hurting the other person. Be firm but gentle

LEt him know that you plan on moving and give him a date and more at the date. Don't mention it anymore. When the time comes move everything all at once. don't leave anything. The best break up is a quick clean break. The more you prolong it the harder it will be.
