Deb42's response vindicates what I did with my girlfriend by letting her go and avoiding this aftermath.

See thats the thing… when we ARE together, like when I stay with him, he wants to be attached at the hip. Cuddle all night. Cuddle on the couch. Hold hands all the time, etc. And I am just not as passionate about the physical aspect with him as I used to be! I don't know why, and it makes me very sad... that so called 'spark' is just so gone for me.
Since I'm so young, I feel like I shouldn't have to sacrifice these years of my life where I could be having so much fun. Don't get me wrong, I don't really party or anything and don't have interest in sleeping around at all. I just feel trapped.

Everybody says JUST DO IT. But its not that easy for me yet. Don't worry, I'm working up the mental courage every day! And I'm not totally stringing along. He knows something is wrong, he can tell, I just haven't gotten to the nitty gritty with him yet.

He is about 1000 miles away, btw, for everyone that was confused on the distance. Too far to drive, and plane tickets get very pricey.

Fun? I'm not sure exactly... I want to move away from my hometown eventually (next year or so) and have new experiences. I want to meet new people and make new friends, and not have all these emotional strings attached.

That's a profound statement and it's coming from a place where you aren't wanting to party or hookup. It's coming from a place to where you just realized you two have really grown apart. He's sweet and awesome, but your goals no longer line up. You want to be your own woman, not the woman who's glued to her phone keeping up with the boyfriend. I say do what's best for you and best for him. That's breaking up. it will hurt, but it will get better.

Thank you for that. I guess on here I was looking for a little bit of justification on how I felt as well, so again, thanks. Thats exactly how I feel–glued to my phone.

All of this is just in time for Valentines Day, right? Fml. haha. Thanks for your support I appreciate it. And out of everyone you have given me a good idea of what I could possibly say to him. I'm just so nervous to break the poor guys heart. He doesn't deserve it, but I guess that is life. I do love him a lot, just don't feel 'in love' anymore.

I think you need a certain amount of posts to be able to message more.

No wonder–this is the only post I've ever done. But for example in regards to what you said about moving to NYC… I want to do something drastic like that. I don't think my bf would be able to accept it! I would be around a whole new world and new people and it would most likely upset him a lot that he can't be there. Just more strings tied down that I am not into.
