How do you break up with a clingy, annoying boyfriend without hurting their feelings?

Question

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

say goodbye

Answer 2

Breaking up is a very difficult thing to do. You must be honest above all else. Sit down with your boyfriend and tell him how you feel. Do not argue or get upset. Nothing will be solved if this happens. If he is upset and you can't calm him down, tell him you will have to discuss this at another time when he can discuss it as an adult. Best of Luck.

Answer 3

Lol. Picture kids with this guy. You're going to hurt his feelings anyway and he needs to be hurt a little in order to grow up. Just tell him you're not attracted to him anymore and that its over. You'd like to be friends and if he can't be friends then its been fun and have a good life.

Direct is always better. He likely knows anyway and not telling him whats up is worse than just saying..hey..its over!

Answer 4

The right thing to do? Tell him up front, but be nice. Say "this just isn't working out for me."

The EASY way? Cheat on him.
I've never done that, and it's definitely not the right thing to do, but one of my friends did it before. He hated her guts but he never bothered her again.

You might want to tell him to stop being clingy, and see what happens. It sounds cruel, but sometimes it works. Or you can be just as obnoxious to him and make him break up with you instead.

good luck.

Answer 5

How do you break up with someone w/o hurting their feelings? You can't.

All you can do is tell them that you aren't in love with them and want to stop seeing him. After that, don't call him, don't return his calls, don't take his calls, if you see him on the street be cordial but don't engage him in conversation, don't write him, don't return his letters or e-mails. Basically, you will need to become a rude ***** to get rid of him.

His feelings will get hurt but they're going to get hurt no matter what you do. Trying to "let him down easy" will only prolong the pain.

One last thing... what goes around comes around. I hope that you realize that your turn will be coming up... be preparted to get your own heart broken and when it happens, you'll recognize all of the things that are happening.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Be strong. I was in the same situation. He was clingy, and would cry everytime I told him that I didn't want to be with him. He always made me feel guilty enough to stay. I figured he was harmless, but the final break up showed otherwise. When I finally made up my mind to get it over with, he suddenly got aggressive, and stalked me until I had to call the cops. He was breaking into my house and car, etc.
Get it over with now, and try not to do anything to set him off. It's the quiet ones you have to worry about!
This sounds cruel, but don't worry about hurting his feelings. He'll get over it.

Answer 7

The way i did it, was by acting all sensitive about a certain issue, i.e., his ex girlfriend, and blew it up on his face, then i said it was over because of what he did, which was really nothing but he felt that he did something bad.

You cannot give him the talk, he will boo hoo in your face and you wil feel sorry for him, and will not be able to break up with him, you sound like a caring person.

Answer 8

Be like that : "look dawg i know we've been kickin' it for a while but it clearly seems like there's no chemistry between us anymore, so i wanna let you know that i still love you as a frined but you have to pack your bags and leave homie and move on with your life just like i'm about to do right now, can't keep lettin' little kinds playin' on my thang like that, i'm moving to the next level, no hard feelings dawg, hope u understand, if not screw you cuz i deserves better than what you was giving me so peace my n i g g a"... WEST SIDE!!!.... HE'LL UNDERSTAND AND LEAVE YOU THE HELL ALONE, TRUST ME....LOL

Answer 9

Talk to him face to face no over the phone that hurts a lot. Guys do have feelings too you know. But just tell him he is not being serious with yall relationship an that you want to take some time off to see if the time off is a good thing or it was a bad thing meaning that you might really miss him dispite his annoyinness aiight remember not over the phone aiight.

Answer 10

A woman I used to work with gave me this to say when I was in the exact situation:
"Are you seeing someone else?" or "Have you ever thought about seeing someone else?"

Him: "No."

You: "Maybe you should..."

Then you could go on..."we're not compatible, " "you're on a higher level of committment than I am," "It's best to end this now instead of later when we're more attached, because we both know it will inevitably end..." try any of those, you can tweak them as you see fit. Be sure to offer your friendship anyway, and give him a hug. Lots of luck to ya.

Answer 11

why is he clingy? try asking that before you go and dump him... maybe there is something wrong that you can see but he cannot. usually those who need help cannot see that something is wrong and it takes a healthy person to help them. Maybe its some of you? are you givinghim reason to hold on to you? does he think your cheating? are you being a good girlfriend? try seeing what he needs and get him to help himself so he can stand up and get off of you
