I have a girlfriend that I have been seeing for about 3-4 months. Recently, I have been really unhappy the way things have been, and I would like to call it off. The thing is that she told me that these past 3-4 months have been the happiest she has ever been, and she is finally confident about her body. I've tried to form the words that I want to take a break, but I physically can not say it because I know how much it will hurt her and I care so much about her. I also thought doing on the phone would be easier but whenever I try calling her I chicken out and hang up the phone before she answers. Any suggestions!?!?

I realize this is a very hard situation for you, and it shows you care enough about her not to want to see her hurt. But, you are doing her a greater unjustice by prolonging this. It will not get any easier. Just be truthful and honest thats the best policy. It's going to hurt no matter what, but being honest is the best policy. And cheers to you for being sesitive to a womnas feelings, not many men are left who feel this way!
Good luck hun.

Okay, I'll put it to you this way. If you "don't" find the courage to tell her "now?" It will hurt her a lot worse later. And just for the record, By not telling her, you're living a lie. Think of it this way, you'll both be better off once you've told her. Try this. "Listen, I like you as a friend, and though I'm glad you're comfortable with your body? I don't wish to be in this relationship any longer, so I'm breaking it off. She'll be hurt for a while, but get it over with ASAP! Besides, you're not responsible for making someone else comfortable with their own body, "they" are. Good luck

don't do it over the phone. you have to meet her face to face. you obviously care about her to be so careful about hurting her, but you aren't doing her favor by putting it off. do it and do it quick. try something like this: you mean so much to me, but i don't think our relationship is really working out as dating. i'm sorry. maybe we'd be better off as friends....

dont do it over the phone. offter to come see her or take her somewhere quiet and just be straightforward with her. but dont be cold and callous.
