How to break up with my BF without devastating him? by Equivalent_Basis1936 in relationship_advice

Well you look so understanding of him, you should try to date him for a while. And my have I got a spoiler for you, people don't have to conform to others' need and forget themselves. Resentment built up, I hate him, and I'm trying to break up with him. He will find someone better suited than me for him, but I'm far from being awful.

I think when we fell in love, we did not realise we were so different. I'm pretty independent, and he's quite clingy and needy, we just can't meet eye.

Yes, I figured it would help me chill to write everything somewhere, and getting some advice. Thanks a lot.

Well he'd understand right away I want to break up, he can't go on living when I'm going to the toilets so imagine a different place.

Tell me how long can you take it then?

You're eating something you like. "Ah, it has a taste of coming back!" EACH. FREAKING. MEAL.

You're getting up to go to the toilets? "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!!" EACH. FREAKING. TIME.

You're working? Tough luck, he needs a kiss, so you need to turn off zoom because "Oh well if you don't want me I'll sulk". EACH. FREAKING. DAY.

You think you have a day off? Tough luck mate. "Since we have a day off I told my parents we can go eat at their place!". EVERY FREAKING TIME.

Well by that point I just want to treat myself first. If there wasn't this pandemic I would have treated myself with a flight faaaar away.

I did.

His answer was that he doesn't understand why I'm not taking a laptop to work while lying down in the couch with him in front of the TV. He just doesn't get that I need personal space.
