How do you break up with someone you LOVE but arent IN love with -- when you just arent happy?

I have been with my bf for 2 yrs. I have a 4 yr old kid from a previous relationship. ';Chris'; and I have fought for the past 8 months a LOT. I love him but I am not IN love with him, if that makes any sense... I am happier on my own but am also scared of losing him... I just cant see us together with kids and a house, etc... he has a gambling problem that causes a lot of fights. I love him but dont want to be with him when I am just not happy... what do I do? BReak it off and break his heart or hope it works out and keep working on the relationship?How do you break up with someone you LOVE but arent IN love with -- when you just arent happy?
If your not happy now what's going to change.Him? You? There's no right way to break up with someone. If you do ';love'; him, then just sit him down and explain your feelings. You never know maybe he feels the same way.


Freedom from wondering ';what if'; is a really good feeling.


So BUCK UP, and smile lifes too short to be unhappy. KHow do you break up with someone you LOVE but arent IN love with -- when you just arent happy?
I think you should try a little longer and hope things work out.if not then stop trying and move on.it would make you feel better
