How to Break up

[Kate in Louisiana]

Hi. I haven't been with my boyfriend for very long (less than 1 year) and I moved in with him at the beginning of this year. I feel I moved in way too soon. I think it's just not right for me and I would like to break up with him. It's harder to do though because I live in his house. Any ideas on how to break up with him and how I should do it and what to do about my living situation?

I think you should tell him just what you told us...

If you're honest with him about your feelings - and keep it about your feelings, not about him - he may be heartbroken, but will most likely accept your decision.

Sooner is better - ther longer you wait, the more difficult it will be.
