How to break up with attached boyfriend?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 5 months and I'm no longer happy. I'd like to break up but I'm afraid of seriously hurting him. He's gotten so attached to me. I told him today that I want to take a break and he cried and told me I'm the love of his life, that he can't live without me. That scares me, that he's so dependent on me, especially after a relatively short period of time. I have no idea what's going to happen if/when I really break it off. Any advice?How to break up with attached boyfriend?
Seriously end it as soon as you can. I've been in this situation and because I was afraid of hurting his feelings or him hurting himself it wasn't good.





So forget about hurting his feelings. If he tells you he's going to hurt himself, don't believe it and if he does, imagine, that could've been you.





What I recommend is to just tell him you can't handle a relationship right now and you guys can be friends but that the stress of a relationship is too much for you.





Or anything else, but seriously end as soon as you can. Don't hurt his feelings by saying you're no longer happy or that he's boring or something, place the fault on yourself at all times, don't give him the ';it's not you, it's me line';.





Maybe someone else can suggest a better method of breaking up with him, when I broke up with my super attached ex bf...it wasn't. Restraining order and all that jazz because I was afraid of breaking up with him earlier. So don't wait.How to break up with attached boyfriend?
he will be fine and he will get over it. why would u stay with someone your not happy with? break up with him hes a big boy and will get over it . . im sure u will see him a month from now with a new fling. Make urself happy and just do it.
LOL


he's a guy,


he can deal with it.


besides, it's not your fault you don't like him anymore,


even if he does think your the love of his life, he's not the love of yours!


hahaha

oh god..i have the same kind of boyfriend as you..joy..but you can avoid him, stop answering his texts, phone, calls, e-mails. simply just cut off all communication with him. and dump him over the phone or something..
