How do you do this?

You still love her, but you know it isn't going to work. How do you tell someone it is over?

    Well, this is definitely a hard situation. First, before u break up, you have to accept the fact that u are letting a person you love go and when you've finally accpeted that, give her small signs that the relationship just isn't working. DO NOT though: stop calling her, avoid her, ignore her. That will just make her angry. Just small signs like you need to let go. Everyone is different, so just hope that she'll accept the end of ur relationship. good luck!

    Absolutely do not, under any circumstances say, "I still love you but...". If you do that then it will confuse her and keep her hoping to be with you. Just what the f*** do guys mean when they say that anyway? I think it means they don't have a clue as to what love is or there is someone else they love more. If I am completely wrong, please email me to let me know why you would say you have to let go of someone you love. It is just one of those mysteries of dating that I would like to have an answer for.

    You need to have a very private time to talk to her. Explain how you feel. Don't accuse her of anything - just talk calmly. Let her see how upset you are, too. She will need to have her chance to explain things. Maybe you can both work this out, or maybe you will split. However, you will both have a chance to state your views and maybe have a friendlier break-up.

    Are we talking about marriage?

    You talk it with her and explain that you are afraid where the relationship is going. You don't just quit though. If you're married, try to work it out before giving up.

    YOU REALLY DON'T!Sometimes you just have to walk away. I know it's hard .But no matter what if she still loves you it's going to break her heart.If you have children do it now!!!!THERE IS NO GOOD TIME!!!Life is to short to be unhappy.Think of the new start!Maybe she will be happier without you and doesn't know it!!!!!! If you have children you will repeat this cycle for them!!!!!!! They won't chose either!~

    Just tell her how you are feeling and be completely honest and hopefully she is women enough to handle it. In person is best.

    Just tell her the way it is. The total truth is always the best way.

    Say to her..."I still love you baby but I don't think it's going to work."

    What happens next is anybody's guess. She has to know though.

    GOOD LUCK!
