How to break up with my boyfriend?

I love my boyfriend a lot and he's my best friend, however I'm really paranoid that he's going to cheat on me or upset me.

He cheated on his ex-girlfriend of 5 years whilst he was drunk, and he has lied to me about a few things. He hasn't lied about anything too serious, but he has still lied. For example, he had a friend who seriously fancied him before we got together, as soon as she found out about the two of us she suddenly hated me (I didn't even know she liked him). She's been horrible to me since however last week he offered to give her a lift behind my back, I found out but I can't help but think it was more than a lift. I now feel paranoid if he goes out with his friends and I don't think I can cope with the stress any more.

I've tried to break up with him before, but whenever I'm with him I just fall in love with him all over again and he always sweet talks me back to him. However when we're alone, I feel really stressed and hate it. I can't live my life like this.

Last time I tried to break up, he said he just wanted to be friends. However it was clear that whenever we were together we acted like more than friends, which is obviously not allowing each other to move on.

I love him and want to be friends with him but I just can't do it any more. What do I do?

    Well he sounds to me like a typical player. He will be jumping from girl to girl for years to come. Probably contract an STD or two along the way. He will be a cheating husband one day and probably become a divorced alcoholic before he dies. You need to realize that you two will not ever be "just friends" after being in a serious relationship. If YOU are okay with it, you could be "friends with benefits" but usually that will just stir up feelings again.

    My advice is to dump him because you are not happy. Just tell him you have other things going on in your life right now that you need to worry about other than him.

    Just end it. Say you want to see other people. Easy as that.
