How to break up with your boyfriend?

And I might add, gently and without feeling guilty? Here's the story shortened as much as I can (I am changing names just so you know):



My friend Maria got with her boyfriend Dylan in late January or early February. At the time, they were both a bit heartbroken and sad, so they instantly got along and soon, they became a couple, and let me tell you, they're adorable! Dylan is a year older than Maria. Problem is, Dylan is much more into Maria than she is into him, and he says I love you all the time, when Maria is ready, and he tells her all the time that he made his life so much better and he doesn't know what he'd do without her, now Maria wants to break up because she feels too controlled, and that's what he's doing to her! He has to be with her all the time and whatnot. What can you suggest for her? How can she break up with him without feeling TOO guilty?

Thanks in advance to the people who actually help.How to break up with your boyfriend?
best thing to do is



tell the truth, be honest what you really feel

it may or may not result to break up

you will not be guilt because you're telling the truth

talk her to him personally

They need to talk. She needs to be honest with him. It might hurt, but theres nothing to do about it. Or, the best I can advice you is to tell 'Maria' that she needs to tell him that he's being controlative. Maybe she just needs to tell him, and once she does, he might change and give her more space and time for her needs. If that doesnt work out well...then yeah she needs to break up with him. She needs to be honest with him though. But she needs to do it as...... nicely as possible so she wont hurt him or herself that much.



Tell her good luck from me if you can.
The best route would be to ask a parent or teacher for help.

Part of an abusive relationship is control %26amp; his goal mostlikely is to keep her feeling guilty if he can.
