Such a long story

So, I'm not going to rerun the whole thing.
Suffice it to say, I need to dump someone but I have never been the dumper, only the dumpee.
He is a VERY sensitive man, and he is deeply emotional about everything. How do I dump someone like that? How do I steel my resolve against tears and begging and how do I not crush him?

It is my own fault. I should have listened to my friend when he told me that this relationship was a bad idea. Sorry, "friend."
You know me better than I know myself and I need to start listening to you more.
Anyway, how would any of you deal with this?
thanks

angel,

you're right...you need a strong resolve to accomplish this. one thing that might strengthen that resolve would be to know that you're doing what's best for him...present and future, and to stay in the relationship would only hurt him more.

it's going to hurt him...know that, but to put it off longer will only hurt him more.

go on that. that's what i did with my ex and i still hurt and so did he, but it was for the best.

good luck

it's never easy, I wish you luck, I'm always the dumper... it sucks I usually just say how I'm feeling and let them down gently *hugs* and best wishes!
