    okay assuming you re not my girlfriend under a fake name, here is my advice first assess if he's the reason you need space or if maybe you rushed into a relationship real quick. talk to him prefarbly when he's got time off from work no one needs to deal with that stuff on a work week. talk where you can be alone but not to far from others and maybe close to his place so he doesn't have to have that long journey home, Tell him that he is great guy and he's done nothing but be nice to you, but you're at a point where you need time to be alone and not 100% in the relationship which would be unfair to him, if you feel that there maybe a chance for you to get back together keep it to yourself for now no need to give him hope if you're uncertain. if he's taking it well give him a hug and tell him any girl would be lucky to have him. if you want to remain friends thats fine but give him sometime for the transition. maybey call to see how he's doing a week later but don't give any mixed signals, however before breaking up with him i might suggest you just try sometime to yourself for a week to think about it. sometimes we make decisions we regret later

    I was very recently dumped by a guy who just needed time to work through some of his own emotional issues. I felt disappointed and somewhat sad afterwards, but I honestly didn't feel hurt or angry. He assured me that it had nothing to do with me and that I had done nothing wrong, he said he was thinking about me more than he was thinking about himself when he decided to end the relationship, and his actions and the tenderness in his voice told me that he still liked me very much and cared deeply about me. I don't know if that helps you at all.

    I'm guessing you both don't have good communication. If he hasn't hurt you in any way, then why do you want to break up with him? Just simply tell him you need some time to yourself. That's what being in a relationship calls for. If you can't simply communicate with him, then I agree with Confused Girl's answer...
