How do I end a 7 year relationship?

I’ve been with him for 7 years. I haven’t really been happy in this relationship in quite some time. I guess you could say I’ve been prolonging the inevitable. Well, I’m never the dumper. I can honestly say that I’ve never ended a relationship. I usually just wait for the other person to do it, cause I’m a chicken. We don’t live together, and never have, and I usually only see him once a week (when he comes to my house to stay the night). Any suggestions on how to do this without causing a fit of rage, or without causing a fit in general?

I’m sorry to hear that it has come to this point in your relationship, especially after investing 7 years of your life. I don’t imagine it being easy.

On a lighter note tho, I’m glad that you’re stepping out of the ‘chicken’ zone :) and taking things into your own hands this time. There’s no easy way…breakups are never easy, and something tells me that your partner sees is coming anyway. So the best you can do is be straight up about it and basically say the same thing you’ve said in this post. Mainly that you haven’t been happy in a long time and that you don’t see it going any further than it has.

Good luck and I wish you all the best in your future relationship!
