How do you breakup with someone you've been with for a long time and still love?

I have been dealing with my bf for about seven years now (we started as friends), and have been in a serious relationship for about 8 months. It is time to break it off. We are too much alike and we drive eachother crazy (both Scorpios). We have tried to break up before, but neither of us can do it. We separate for one night and he's back the next day. We both want to be apart, but the thought of us being with other people drives us crazy. Is there any way to let go without moving to another state? And can this end with him still a friend?How do you breakup with someone you've been with for a long time and still love?
Have a threesome. That is the perfect solution, because the odd feelings which linger afterwards inhibit any possible relationship between the 2 people in the relationship.





I encourage you to even specifically ask a new question of ';Will having a 3some end my lingering relationship which I want to end anyways?';





I guarantee you it will solve your problem, and you and he can still be friends after you BOTH HAVE FOUND NEW people.





Dont talk to him at all, until both of you have picked up on a rebound. Be very nice, tell each other that your good people and dont go on dates. Just be phone friends or chat friends, or you can go to casual places together like a sports game.How do you breakup with someone you've been with for a long time and still love?
Sure, and please dont take this the wrong way, but...I'm just getting out of a 13 year relationship, and it is hard too cause I love her to death and all.....but, we gotta split or we'll hate each other eventually.....so, my advice and this is what I am currently trying to do, and that is....find someone at random....just someone to talk to, and maybe text them, have things to talk about, and go from there......that way, to give you a graphic pic in your head, meeting someone new would be the oil to loosen up your closeness with the other, and let you slip on out for something you are ready for. Good luck!! PS...want to text me??
unfortunately, i think not.. it's going to be tough.. i guess 7 years of friendship has created an interdependency between the both of you.. if you can't let go with him around, then obviously you have to try to not be around him.. maybe give yourself some space and time away from him.. and when things have cooled off and you've both moved on, a friendship could be possible..
If you still love each other than why do you want to break up? If you couldn't stand one another and hated each others guts then I could say ok. If you can't stand to see each other with someone else then both of you should probably be.
wow! i'm in that same situation. we hate eachother but we can't let go. umm, my only advice is to tell him this circle needs to end because things really aren't going anywhere. start going on random dates with guys. don't call your bf or answer any of his calls. encourage him to go on dates too. this is what i've done. it helps because it slowly makes you realize that you don't need him, and it opens the doors for a better relationship to come along. good luck
