Break it off for good or not?

It may be to late now, but I would like some advice because I really dont have anyone to talk to right now. I dont exactly wanna pull my family or friends into this. Well I have been dating the same girl since high school. We have been together for 5 years and yesterday we kinda broke it off as a mutual agreement. The first year or two was great and then things just kept getting worse. Anymore we can just hardly stand each other. We are just way different, different interest, almost no sex life. We love each other, and we are best friends, but should I just let her go? We have broken up a few times, but we always end up together again. Is it in my best interest to just let her go this time?

    i think you should break up.

    move on.

    if youve been dating her for 5 years and it keeps getting worst after 2 years, why do you think it would get better after 3 years of getting worst?

    btw; you probably arent gonna end up going to the same college and long distance relationships dont really work to well in my opinion.

    5 years is a long time to just let it go. What my husband and I did before we got married was to see other people for 1 year and then we met back up and it was still love at first sight and married soon after and had our first child soon after as well. We got it out of our systems and now we never look at anyone else in a lusting way. Make sure you keep in contact every week so that you can keep comparing notes on how it is going. Do not give exact details or last names regarding who you are seeing. Always be protected and safe. If you let her go and rejoin each other after a set amount of time and still feel something then you owe it to each other to make it work. Do not be surprised if you two have grown apart though it happens.

    Sometimes no matter how long people stay together they can always grow apart. It is better to have someone and love them as a friend than to be with someone in a relationship and hate their guts. Maybe you two just need a breather and take some time apart. And who knows maybe the time apart will let you two see if u do or don't really want eachother ...Good Luck!!

    I was in a long term relationship and we grew apart as well. After that relationship was over I realized something: There are way too many people in this world to settle for a relationship if you in any way think that it might not be absolutely perfect for you. Yes, you love her. But if you are different people now then you once were, then I think it is time to move on. It will be extremely difficult but trust me, you will meet someone else that will make you much happier. Good luck!

    I think you just like her like a sister or a really good friend. And the multiple break up/ get back together thing leads to a very unsteady and rocky relationship. I know it's hard to let go of something that is all you've know for 5 years...but i think it's time.

    Stay friends but you two probably aren't meant for each other. It's going to be real tough coming off a long term relationship, but you two are going to have to go seperate ways in your romantic lives. Relationships hardly ever work out when there is more than one breakup, so it's probably just a waste of time to keep trying. Both of you will be fine in time, and like I said, it's possible to stay friends, but more than friends just doesn't seem like it'll work out. Good luck! =)

    Don't force a relationship that hasn't been going very smoothly for a few years. It's obviously time to move on and find someone new to share your life with. It's great that you two are still friends, but it should stay as it is now. :)

    If your not getting along whats the point? Break it off now, it will take some time to get back into the single stage but you will eventualy find someone that suits you and you will get along with. Let her go, let her let you go. Its defantly for the best

    Are you both IN love with each other (not just as friends)? Then you can work it out if you want to and try hard. If there's nothing there, then maybe not. Someone above said do what your heart tells you. I agree.

    okay you guys dont have the same interest you have nothing in common and you dont have a sex life. thats why you guys broke up, there has to be something that to people have something common with so they can connect. like music, religion maybe politics, if you have nothing then its kind of like what the hell. im pretty sure you have soothing in common with your friends and thats why your friends with that person.
