Focus on your work thing for right now so as not to get distracted, but a day or 2 before the work trip's over & you talk by phone, which i assume you've been doing w/ him this 2 wk trip, tell him you want to talk w/ him.
Do it in a semi-public place, so if he gets odd, violent, etc., you're not totally alone out there somewhere w/ just him.
And I say to tell him you want to talk specifically a day or 2 before your work trip's over because you don't want to tell him too many days before THE TALK...he doesn't need to ponder what the talk could be about for too long.
When you finally sit down to talk, if you want to ask him 1st how he feels the relationship's going so you can gauge his feeling (not that that will change how you feel), then go ahead OR just say your thing & end it & that's it.
OK, if it's long distance, I still agree w/ everything I said before, but just do it over the phone. No need to make any special trip to break up in person.
I am 2.5 years into a relationship that I now understand is needing to come to an end.
I am on a work trip for the next two weeks, and then after that it is expected that I will spend a week with my boyfriend in his apartment (this has been planned all summer.) However, I think this alone time together will only further confuse my feelings (and his) and I don't want to do anything sexual or lead him on further if I believe it's time to end. Out of respect for the relationship, I feel like I should break up with him in person and not on FaceTime. However, I don't also feel like it would be fair to make him believe I am going to his apartment to stay with him just to break up with him that day. How should I handle this situation?
We have been having issues lately, and have been discussing the future of our relationship (during which I expressed my doubts) so it's not completely out of left field to end the relationship, though I know being broken up with is heartbreaking either way. I want to be respectful of him in ending it, but I don't want to lead him on in the process by continuing to spend this week with him alone if I'm thinking of breaking it off. Any advice?
For the record: he lives with a roommate in his apartment, so I'm concerned as well that his roommate is nearby/hears the conversation/is just sitting in the living room when this all inevitably goes down.
Just end it on facetime. It's the digital age and does not carry the same stigma that it once did to older generations.
