My family thinks I'm going to marry my partner next year.. and I have tried to tell him that we're over.. but he hasn't taken me seriously b/c we've been together for six years. I will have a face-to-face talk with him when he comes to town for my sister's wedding.
To complicate things, I have a new boyfriend now.. but I haven't told my family that I've broken up with my ex-BF, so that's why I can't bring my new BF into the picture.
I don't want my boyfriend to be sad about this, but I don't know what I can do b/c I'm caught in the middle. I don't want to hurt my ex-BF either. :(

You're not really being fair to your new BF by not being honest with family about your ex. He's an ex for a reason and you have to remember that. You have chosen to move on and you should tell your family soon. Obviously there are some good factors about your new BF or you wouldn't be with him, why not share this with your family.

You should have gotten closure between you and your ex bf because you started another relationship. It is unfair to the new bf and it's kind of selfish of you. Yes you're afraid of hurting your ex, but it seemed that you will only end up hurting your new one as well. It is your responsibility to end things right. Your family will understand how you feel, but I doubt your new bf should.

sounds like you are leading your family now you need to tell them before your ex get to town and let your new boyfriend know that you have to walk with your ex during your sister wedding otherwise he will find out by someone and he won't be very happy. To earn trust you must build trust.

I think you need to get it across to your family that you are not with him anymore and they need to accept it. Telling them both the truth is the best thind or there is no easy way around it. If someone feels hurt then eventually they will get over it. The truth is the only thing you can do.

Well if you want to keep the new boyfriend I say tell your family and don't worry about how it makes your ex fell, unless you want him back. I think you need decide what it is you want before you decide to tell your family or not.

Simple; don't bring your current boyfriend. If he doesn't understand, he's a happless little shi!t.

The only obligation you have is to your new bf.
