She would come over every day after work. I just stopped answering the door and the phone.
a honest talk for sure, explaining all things
You tell your partner the truth, prolonging it only makes the outcome less desirable and harder on everyone.
Have an honest conversation. I did this once and there’s no easy way to do it but it was respectful and she understood.
We tried dating for a few months but just didn’t have enough in common and too many things that were practically contradictory. I told that I really enjoyed the time we spent together but I didn’t think we had enough in common to continue. I listed out the things that we just don’t gel together with and that I was confident would eventually snowball into serious relationship issues.
It worked out, I’m pretty sure she found someone great for her and I also found someone great for me and have been with her for 5 years nowZ
Tell them the truth. It’ll save you in the long run. It’s never fun but a man shouldn’t lie just because it’s easy.
It’s not you it’s me…
I just straight up ended it
I made a fake friend and they “cheated” on me with them so I had an excuse to leave (they were toxic as fuck and I needed hella help to get away)
I once tried to date someone when it was quickly obvious to me that we didn’t actually have enough chemistry or commonalities for it to work in the long run. It was super nerve wracking but I finally worked up the courage to sit them down and tell them even though they were a lovely person who hadn’t done anything to me.
The wildest thing happened and now we’re happily married … to other people. Seriously, it would have been a disaster had we tried to force a relationship where one didn’t naturally exist. Was a shitty conversation and an awkward couple run ins afterwards but we both ended up with people we’re much better matched to.
Just told her I didn’t see this thing going longer.
I actually had to do this… I was a wreck, I couldn’t explain it, the spark was just *lost*. It really wasn’t anything specific, like a slow fizzle out. We dated/boyfriend/girlfriend’ed for 10 months about.
Once I fully realized it happened, I knew I just had to rip the bandaid right off and just get it over with. I went over to her place and just honestly shared my feelings. She was dumb founded, understandably so. I got out of there, and we haven’t spoken since.
I felt so bad afterwards, real guilty. Visited my parents house and cried in my mom’s arms. I was like 35.
I’m happily married now, so obviously it was the right move. I just feel bad about hurting someone else who didn’t do really anything specifically wrong. And she had quite the story growing up too, which made me feel worse about it.
AOL Instant Messager. I was in a bad mood and my friends were going for buck burgers. I said I’m done, I got to go. she said are you breaking up with me? I said sure. Three year relationship…
Purposely developed alcoholism and several drug addictions
I dated this one girl once and it turns out I thought she was too boring, so I was honest but not mean. I told her it wasn’t working out for me, it’s nothing personal and that I was sorry.
Going through this now. We’ve grown apart. Both found God and have different callings now. 12 years of marriage, with obvious ups and downs, but we need a new direction. We only get one life, gotta make it count.
I mean I didn’t really have to do much. She showed up in my apartment without telling me she was coming by.
I was studying @ my local college campus. I saw her car, she saw me. I don’t typically react or have any interest in causing drama.
I don’t like drama, she asked me if I was mad. I told her I couldn’t even think straight, so I couldn’t tell her if I was mad or not ATM.
That was it, never saw her after that. Wasn’t a good fit, she wanted me more than I wanted her.
Darrell, it’s going to be a kick in the teeth however you do it but i think we can all agree, sooner the better. Just hit them with it and move on.
