Step 4. Start by saying that there is something wrong and that you need to talk to him about it

Explain what is bothering you and try to stay composed while you do it. Speak for yourself and try to avoid making accusations at him. For example: "The fact that I am always afraid of you cheating on me is not good for our relationship" instead of "You are cheating on me and this has ruined our story." This will make it easier for him to deal with the situation.

Advice

  • Don't make a fuss of it. If you are going to download it, do it.
  • Never talk about him and don't shoot him from behind his back.
  • Don't blame him, but make sure he knows exactly why you broke up with him.
  • Don't be depressed by him. Go ahead, or, if you decide he deserves another chance, see if he's willing to try again later.
  • If you want to break up with him because someone else is there, first put an end to the relationship, and then go to the other person. Betrayal is unforgivable.
  • Don't use the classic "it's not you; it's me". You can use that logic there, but don't use those exact words. If this is what you feel, explain your emotions to him.
  • Tell him you don't want to ruin your friendship and therefore believe it would be better to just be friends.
  • Don't swear or insult him, even if you're angry.
  • Do not call him when you are drunk, you will regret it and, afterwards, you will feel guilty for not remembering what you said to him.
  • If he asks you to resent, tell him it's over.
  • Tell him it's best that you just stay friends.
