how do I end it?

I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 4 years. I'm sad to realize that what we had is just no longer there. I care about him and want to end our relationship the least hurtful way I can. I know he doesn't want to break up, but I'm just not happy anymore. We broke up briefly last year (I broke up with him) and it was horrible and painful for both of us. I did a terrible job of breaking up with him that time and I really do not want to repeat that. How can I best do this?

Regardless of how you do it there will be hurt. Don't do it in an email or over the phone, if you respected the relationship at all it deserves a face to face talk. It's going to be hard on both of you. Have strength and good luck.
