ok, I am 18 and am currently in a relationship of a little over 3 years, i love the guy i am with but recently i have had the feeling that something is missing. i feel like i may be missing out on life, my boy friend, he is the kinda guy i could see my self settling down with some time in the feature but i have realized that i don't wanna settle down before i have lived my life a little more. heres the problem we started dating when i lived in oregon, shortly after, i found out that i was moving to Nevada, well a few months later he follows me down to Nevada, which at the time was wonderful something a really needed. so he lives here in Nevada and we have had plans of moving back up to oregon together soonish. also i am pretty much the only thing he has here, he makes his money through an online business and is pretty shy so he hasn't made many friends down here, i don't want to hurt him but i know he wont understand my reasons for wanting to break up, i am not sure how to go about breaking up with him, i dont want to hurt him but i know that it is unavoidable, but i don't wanna look back years from now and resent him for me not living my life
so if i could get some advice here that would be great thanks

Welcome to the board lexie053,


Just sit him down and tell him that really don't want to hurt him, but you want to break up because you feel like you need live your life more right now. He will be hurt, that can't be avoided.
