Hello there,

There are a lot of questions to ask yourself when you are wondering on whether or not to break up with someone. For instance, does this relationship make you happy? Do you feel like you are wasting time in this relationship? Do you wonder if this relationship means the same thing to the both of you? Do you feel like you will find someone that can make you happier? I know it is hard to make such an important decision like this, but you need to take an objective look at this, or else it is not fair to either of you to continue it. Try writing it all out, as that can help focus your mind on what is truly important to consider. Make a list of pros and cons for your relationship, and include things like the answers to the questions above.

If you find that one side of the list is longer than the other, then that is probably your answer. More importantly, you need to feel in your heart what is right to do. I do not know everything that occurs in your relationship, and I can’t advise you on what is best. You should also really have a discussion with your boyfriend; it is not fair to him for him to be clueless about what your true feelings on it are. It is far better to have an honest, open relationship.

Lots of love,

Katherine
