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

You should definitely not stay in a relationship because you feel sorry for someone. Let him know that you care about him, but you're not happy with the situation and it's just not going to work. Try to be firm. Be sympathetic, both don't let him guilt you into staying! This will probably be as hard for you as it will for him, but it must be done... And soon! The longer you wait, the less fair you are being to him and yourself!
