Ok. Now the question is when to do it. I was hoping to swing by his place today at 4:15, right after he gets home from work. I was preparing myself to finally get this over with.

But then he sends me a text about ten minutes ago saying, "I missed not waking up next to you this morning. Planning on getting home from work early today to make a big dinner for us. Can't wait to see you."

I replied, "That sounds nice. Hope you have a nice day at work."

Crap. How am I supposed to breakup with someone who is planning on cooking a nice meal for me tonight? What would be less cruel, breaking his heart today while he's cooking for me, or waiting until Saturday morning to talk to him in his bedroom away from his roommate? I don't want to push this to next week. I feel so bad about all of this.

I feel for you. I hate this. I should have the talk as well now. I'm terrified of doing it, but not because of confrontation, but because I really adore her.
WHAT?!? Oh, no! I thought you might have found your perma-partner.

You could text him and say, "On second thought, hold off on that until I get there. We'll figure it out then."

I did too.

I was the rebound. I knew it going in. But I hoped.

Your relationship isn't going to go anyway but you can still be friends. But if it is about sex ( right ) and all and you feel like your done playing with them; then you should move on. I know that is wrong and all but that is just the reality of what your saying.

That is my opinion on the subject.

This sounds good. The breakup will be hard for him no matter what. But the longer you wait, the more attached he'll get, and it'll hurt more. So, send a text telling him what LiLac suggested. Don't let him go through the trouble, and have what seems like a great evening with someone who knows things aren't working.

I definitely get your feelings. I hate confrontation, and I was terrified of having to tell a guy I wasn't even dating that I didn't like him. So, I just blurted it out one evening and walked away. Awkward as hell, but it worked, and he was angry-could tell by the expression. But I am sure he got over it fine, and I was probably old news in a few days. But that isn't the same, or near as bad as being involved and having to breakup. So, I sympathize with you on the issue.

So…you're cutting your losses even though you like her?

Wow. He really DOESN"T have a clue. What is it about the relationship that is not working for you, if you don't mind my asking?

No, that would not be an accurate statement. But this isn't a thread about that, so if you sincerely want to know, it should probably be via PM.
