What if I really want to break up with him ? He's been going through so much, but I can't take it anymore.?

I've been with my boyfriend for about 1 and some change. We met my first year of college (i'm a sophomore now). He was known to be a big player, but he came to me so many times trying to tell me about his past, so that I wouldn't look at him like he was crazy. Over the course of our relationship, everything seemed to go smooth until I got this weird gut feeling that he was cheating/talking to other people. And, I know. You're NOT supposed to check someone's facebook or phone, but I did that and found out that he told one girl that he loved her and he lied to me about the age and relationship status of another girl (he told me that she was 28 married with kids, then 26 with a boyfriend) and when I found out on facebook, she was really 21.

(We're living long distance too) So, I can't never help but think about what he's been doing etc. And it's tormenting me, and it has been since the summer. Right before I went back to school, we broke up because he felt like I had 'issues" to deal with since he called himself trying to regain my trust after only 3 months. And foolishly, I tried to make him see why I was the right person for him to be with. But, he was being so mean and said things like he didn't have time for me. And that's when I realized that I couldn't deal with that, so I deleted him from my facebook list and blocked him. Until he contacted me like about the 4th week into the semester. He came back talking about he didn't know what happened to me, he was worried, and how he doesn't want me to be with anyone else. And I fell for that. So we got back together. October, we celebrated our first year anniversary together. Basically, I had more of a set plan than he did. He gave me flowers and took me to an arcade. I cooked food, we went out to eat the next morning and I paid, and when were being intimate, I made the place look really nice...candles and stuff (because I just like candles) lol.

And I've just been having these same tormented feelings, like I don't want to be with him at all. And he's been going through so much with his family, so I feel like me bringing this up would be a bad time. He always guilt trips me into staying with him, like "So you're going to give up the memories, the good times, can't nobody love you like I do." AND THAT CRAP gets annoying!

It's like if you think we've had good memories, it's mainly because I've made them. I basically did all the work in the relationship, while he was around lollygagging. And he even had the nerve to say that he's irreplaceable. REALLY?

I'm just trying to figure out a good time to break it off for good. This is finals week, and I don't want to do that to ruin my concentration. And, next month I am off for break, but I will be back on campus. And that's going to be hella depressing lol. What should I do?

Update:

sorry about the "novel" you guys...just venting lol.

    Wait until after finals and then do it. You don't need to spend your life unhappy just because you've put some time into a relationship.

    Try this: Picture to yourself spending the absolute rest of your life like this. Is that how you want it to go, and do you think it's ever really going to get better?

    Good luck, girl. Hope everything works out for you.

    Ive been in the same situation basically.. Really the best thing you can do is end it asap, It's not your responsibility to make sure his feelings don't get hurt. Its better to be honest than drag it on, then he'll feel like you played him, which sucks reaally bad trust me. Be strong, be honest, offer him your friendship to be there for him as a friend. =] good luck

    What a jerk. He created insecurities and doubts in your mind by telling another female he loves her and then tells you to deal with your "issues"? He obviously doesn't care for your feelings or emotions. Dump his *** and don't feel bad about it. I don't even think he would think twice about dumping you if you had family issues going on. go find yourself a decent man that is worthy of your time and affections.

    The fact that you wrote a novella about this should answer your question: Dump him. He'll only cause you heartache and pain.

    Also, the next time you post, keep it short and sweet. Noone wants to read books on here.

    you should tell him that ya need a break for a while from the relationship so you think that it would be better to break up and if he gives ya that crap about memories tell him that it's not going to work this time. and if ya think he's not for ya then he's not for ya.
