How do you break up with someone that you love?

I love her to death, but I feel that I'm in a searching mode.


I want to explore life without her; but I don't want to lose her either.


I know that it's not fair, so I think that I should let her go.


But I don't know how; and I'm sort of scared that I may be making a mistake.


I love her, but I'm itching for more.How do you break up with someone that you love?
its a chance u will have to take, and it isn't fair to her to keep her around just in case u don't find anyone else to love. if u can't give her what she deserves, an exclusive relationship, let her go free, and suffer the consequences later on.How do you break up with someone that you love?
you need to get ur priorities straight dude.You love her,want to break up with her.at the same time,u dont want to let her go.that is not love.you do not love her.let her be with someone else who loves her.
you either want to be with her, or you don't. you can't have it both ways and it is not fair to her for you to think you can.
why break her heart if you love her? that's not right...
Do you mean itching for more girl??? Coz if not take her with you! Honestly you cant love her that much if your gonna end it
You've already answered your own question. It would NOT be fair to her. Yes, you love her but if you feel there is more for you to explore, do it now. Or otherwise you could feel this STUCK for years to come and could eventually cheat on her anyway. This may be a case of letting her go because you care. Just don't forget her feelings too.
tell her that you love her but you are too young to be held in a relationship and you want to be able to experience other things/people.








maybe that isnt a good idea......i dont know what type of girl she is so this is hard to answer
dont be selfish


hold on to her!


you might not find anyone else who likes u and you'll be single forever
it sound like to me that it is more of a lust thing thing than a love thing. love shouldn't hurt and love shouldn't have doubt. thinking of others better than yourself is all i got to say.
Sounds like you feel safe having her love you and you do love her, but you aren't in love with her.
Your problem is that you want your cake and eat it too.


You have not committed to this person enough to be loyal and true.


If you must look to the hills and wonder. Be as Loving as possible and be honest. It is going to shock and hurt her and you but if you really have to. May it a clean cut and have closure. make it for good and don't go back. People are not toys. You can discuss it with your lover and maybe they will be understanding and let you go out and about on your little search for whatever( Doubt it), but don't be bringing someone else's slop back to them or disease. What you want to do is cut and run and make it ok. It will not be ok, I assure you and yes, you may not find another person who you Love as much and you may be making the biggest mistake of your life. Think long and hard before you do it. Then again, you will never know unless you do. So You have a dilemma, should I or shouldn't eye. You want us to help you with that. You dude have to decide. I just gave you something to think about. Don't cry if it don't work out for ya. Ya never know what you had until it is gone. da grass is not always greener on the other side of the road moo cow. Ya might get hit by a truck crossing the road too. Ya don't want them, let em go. Let someone else have the pearl you found. Bye!!!

If you really love her, then you won't break up with her. You say your in a searching mode and want to experience life without her, come on man that doesn't make sense at all. We of the human persuasion search and search for someone to love, once we find him or her it's time to build your world around that person. Don't be a fool. If you really love her and she reciprocates, breaking up would be a mistake. Love her with all, I mean all your heart.
Obviously you aren't satisfied. Tell her the truth. Tell her you are looking for X, Y, and Z and aren't ready to settle down. Don't make anything stupid up to tell her because you don't want to hurt her feelings.
the only thing that i can say to you is, ';BE CONTENTED';...


its too difficult to find another person to be loved.


SO if you really love that person you won't let her be gone from you...


i've already did that. and what i have got??


i keep on blaming my self...
you need to really think what you wnat because it sounds like you really like her ans if you break up with her there is a good chance youll be kicking your self hard out later on. ans you are right you cant lead her on if your still in the exploring mood. what i reckon you do is think hard about your options ans keep in mind that there might be the chance there is no going back if you break up. and to break up just be hones and gentle you know let her know keep it real. may be try being frined and see how its goes just a thought.
Well if you do really love her that much, you may be making the biggest mistake of your life
If you really love her then she will always be part of your life. If you don't see that then you don't really love her like you think. If you are young and want to explore the world then go ahead! If you just want to go screw around with other girls then I doubt you love this one. True love is never let go for anything.
The itching is dissatisfaction. Run away and don't look back. Tell her the truth, tell her you love her but you long for something else.
So was I. We broke up. Big mistake. Play it safe dude, you're in for a lot of heartache.
Hi, you want your cake but you want to eat it too,sorry hon but life isn't like that,you know you are being selfish in wanting to keep this girl hanging on JUST in case you find the grass isn't greener on the other side,so do the right thing and finish with her,give her the chance to find someone who does want to be with her,someone that will love her and want to stay with her.Go and sow your wild oats but don't expect her to wait quietly at home while you do it.
I have no idea..I've been divorced for 2 years and still cant let go...trying to move on and let him move on..ugggh
never give up the one you love for the one you like. because the one you like will give you up for the one they love. stay with her bud.
you dont love her if you feel that way, you think you do but you dont. you just dont want to hurt her feelings
Sit down and tell her that you are not ready for a serious relationship, because you are trying to FIND YOURSELF. Oh well...


can't squeeze water out of a rock. If you ain't ready for a serious relationship, you aren't. Better tell her you can't see her, than cheat on her. At least you are honest, so MY HAT OFF TO YOU! You are a real man!!! Best of luck!
If you truly love something set it free, if it comes back then it loves you as well, i think theres an expression thats something like that, it has some truth to it. If you love her but aren't in love with her than you'll always stay friends but you gotta decide
it sounds to me as if you may love her but your not in love with her. this happens all the time. but dont lead her on , just tell her the truth, that you need time away to focus and to make sure that is what you really want in life.
is it wierd that you can say that to millions of strangers on Yahoo answers but not to her. tell her how you feel. if she gets pissed off, it will be that much easier to leave her. if she doesn't, maybe she will be willing to take you back when you decide you are done being so ';prophetic'; really its a win-win.
You can't say that you truly love her if you want to be with other girls. It usually ends up that you don't know what you have till you lose it. You think you want something different, but the grass is not always greener on the other side. You seem to have doubt in your mind and may think that you really have something worth keeping. It isn't fair to tag her along if you are wanting something else. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Just be sure to keep in mind that after you are done with your ';search mode,'; she may no longer be available. She can't just wait for you to find out that she's right for you.
Well then go with your heart.





It sounds like you want to go out there and just explore a bunch of different women???? or am I the only one reading it that way?





Are you going on a safari adventure or something and just want to alone? I think not.





Bottom line is she isn't giving you want you ';think you want'; right now.





but anytime in doubt, get out.~
I can relate on many levels.


Ok first off.. I mean if youre itching for more that can lead to unfaithfulness and cheating and that would hurt her even more if and when she finds out.


I dont know if your both still young but if you are.. chances are she might be feeling the same. I mean she might not show it but theres always that thought about.. hmm maybe theres someone better for me out there.


I know when its love when I dont have to second guess if they're perfect for me and Im happy with who im with.


I mean if you dont want to hurt her .. then tell her. Talk to her.. dont keep it from her. Thats the worst thing you can do because imagine if somehow she finds out youre only stayin with her cuz u dont know how to break it to her.


If you talk to her. Keep in contact with her. I mean let ea other know whove youve seen and how its going. If youre not finding anyone else maybe you can give it another shot.


Mistakes are meant to teach.. So what ever choice..


think of how you can sit her down and really tell her you're feelings or keep telling her you love her when inside you want to search to make sure you do.
Why? Sounds like you have an ideal relationship. If so... YOU are a fool to end it!
