Re: Someone Help Please
Kim-

you know- when it just comes down to it- you have to do what makes *you* happy! If it just isn't there.. Then it's not. I would just be honest with him. If he truely values you- then he'll understand and still be there for you as a friend. However, men can be real strange- and sometimes do the extreme opposite-- so keep that in mind.

Good luck... Trust me..I tried to make a similar situation work.. And it really backfired...Putting me into a depression. Please don't go that route. Trust your gut instinct. Going to suck- but it has to be done.

Best wishes-

Thanks so much for your advice it is really helping me in ending our realtionship. I guess I should break up with the only thing is how? I have anxiety to the point where I have anxiety attacks and this situation is making me very nervous. I dont want to hurt his feelings and all.

Yes I agree with the other ladies as well! You have do what makes you happy! Staying with this guy is not making you happy, dont settle for what you feel will make others happy, it will just leave you depressed! Like stated ^^^^^ I think you should lay it out to this guy, and let him know truly what your feeling, explain to him that your not ready to be in a relationship right now, and that you would like to just continue to be friends! Guys sometime, dont understand no! And I am like you, I dont like to upset others, but sometimes girl you have to just let it out...Do what your heart is saying! Good luck! Keep us posted.
