Breaking off a long term relationship
Hey everyone, I am new here, but I’m in need of some help from everybody
I am 21 and I have been dating this girl for 2.5 yrs, and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about ending our relationship. I haven’t been putting 100% into it, and I just don’t have they same feelings for her. Don’t get me wrong she is a great girl, but I see her more as a friend than a companion.
There are few things that are making a difficult situation even more difficult.
The first thing is we are for the most part each other’s first loves. I am everything to her, and her world would be completely crush if I left
Second, the length of our relationship is making it hard for me, we both have invested a lot of time into each other
Third, we lost our virginity to each other.
Lastly, it’s the holiday season. The holiday season is supposed be filled with fun, and happiness. And this wouldnt be doing that.
I guess my issue is that I’m not sure if I want to end this or not. I’ve heard from some of my friends, that "it isn’t fair to either of us to drag this on" but I guess this statement makes it harder for me, because she is such a great girl, and I don’t want her out of my life, but at the same time I want to get out a see other woman, and have fun being single. I understand I have to figure out what I want, but is there anyway to get the best of both worlds? The way I see it, if I break up with her, it will be an “all or nothing situation”.
Please help.
Thanks a lot
Mike from Michigan
