How do you break up with your boyfriend without hurting him?

You have to break some eggs to make an omelette. Its going to hurt him no matter what.



Be totally honest and sincere. Be clear and specific and don't sugar coat anything becuase if he has strong feelings for you, he will be looking for the smallest bit of hope that you as a coupe would work out. False hope is killer for a guy, we would rather know it all, break it off and find somplace to lick our wounds than to be strung along.



Avoid cliche's at all cost. Cliche's are so cheesy and phony that its more like a slap in the face. Take the time to answer all his questions in one hit, meaning don't let him keep you on the line to ask you questions over days or weeks. Get it over with in one long conversation so make time.How do you break up with your boyfriend without hurting him?
I really wish women would stop asking this because other than not breaking up with them then there is no way not to hurt them just do it quickly don't play around because the longer you take the worst it will be. do it face to face they deserve that %26amp; be nice but don't give long drawn out explanation just tell them %26amp; leave.....

also don't do the'; I still want to be your friend'; because it leave hope in their mind %26amp; it never works out
Just tell him you need to be by yourself for right now. You have a lot of stuff you need to figure out with your life.



To be honest, any way you go about it, it is probably going to hurt him. Just be as nice as you possibly can. Just say you need to be single and alone for your own purposes, but be very firm.



If there isn't a chase of you two reconciling later on down the road, do not lie to him and give him false hope with saying you just need some time apart, and maybe things can work out after you have space.



That will just hurt him even more.



If there is someone else, do not tell him that, even if he asks you.



Also, don't give him the classic ';its not you, its me'; line. Try to be more original and sincere with telling him how you feel.
You can't...
