How do I break up with him?

I know I've already asked this but I didn't get many responses and really need some advice.

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?

    Ok you answered mine so I'm answering yours! Thank you so much!! That was the best answer I got!! :)

    Since you put time into your answer for my question. I'll put time into yours :)

    A few months ago I was in a relationship with someone for almost two years and I loved him but I caught him in so many lies. Eventually I couldn't take it anymore along with some of the jerk moves he had done and I knew I needed to break up with him. I still liked him but I did not like the things he had done and said in the past.

    If I were you I would honestly just text him and say we need to talk. That's what I did and when he said ok what's up? I told him that it was a conversation I'd rather have in person. That way he would know what kind of conversation I was going to have with him. If I were you I would just keep it simple and sweet. Don't go on and on about what you didn't like. You don't want to make it b*tchy or mean or nag on about all the things he did that you hated. Be sure to tell him that you've had a good time with him while you dated him. Don't be negative. Just say that it isn't working out anymore and you would like to still be friends but not Friends with benefits and that you would like to move on. (Just keep in mind when you say that to someone chances are you won't really talk to them anymore but that isn't true in all cases. The guy that my question was about dated me a few years ago and we were still friends ever since. But my last ex hasn't talked to me since I broke up with him even though he said "I still really really really want to be friends with you" after I broke up with him ) Tell him that you feel really stressed out and you hate it and by breaking up with him you will relieve some of that.

    About the last time you tried to break up with him. This time when he comes back and tries to make you friends with benefits stay strong and be like I really liked you but I don't want to do this anymore. I need to have a break from all of my stress.

    Source(s): Experience :) Hope this helps!!

    If you're that paranoid and stressed in the relationship then it isn't healthy. Break up with him for good and delete his number. It may be hard since he seems like a sweet talker but you need to do what's good for you and move on before you break from the paranoia.

    Honestly, you just gotta cut it off. I was literally in the same exact boat, just with my ex-girlfriend. It wasn't until I stopped going with my heart and started using my head that I realized how stupid I was for staying in the relationship so long, and it was too late by the time I realized. Do yourself a favor and cut it off now, it'll save you from some extra heartache in the long run.

    As you said in my question earlier, this is kinda related in my problem but my suggestion is, if you love him, stay with him. Ignore your other friends that trying to get you away from him.

    But if you two are just friends now, well try to keep it as friends. Or maybe that guy wants you as a friend, but with Benefits. When a guy say Lets be friends, there's a whole lot of meaning of that because FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS its either in sexual way or in other way that benefits the guy.

    I always say once a cheater always a cheater. I have ben cheated before and it sucks. What was worse was this girl who I though was the love of my life decided to cheat. She got caught and I dumped her right then and there. No one should have to endure that period!! So dump him and find your self a new boyfriend!

    If he's cheated once, he's bound to do it again.
