Me and this guy have been dating for 4 months and have known each other for 5 plus years. Me F21 Him M 23. Off the bat i was iffy about dating because I didn’t want it to ruin our long friendship but sure enough it is. As soon as we started dating, I realize I wasn’t as happy as I was when we were friends, which I would communicate to hin that I feel like we should just go back to friends before it’s too late, but he would really want us to keep trying to make it work because he had always had a crush on me or whatever. well recently I feel like it’s just been getting worse because I don’t like him at all anymore, but he’s like obsessed with me and no matter how much I tell him like I don’t think this is working and we break up but he wants it back together. It’s just really unhealthy, but I feel like it keeps hurting him to tell him how I feel and he’s just not listening at this point so I’m just pushing him away blowing him off hoping like maybe it will make his feelings disappear for me or something. I really need advice on how to leave him because I’m feeling like such an asshole prolonging this relationship that he just doesn’t want it to end. And it sucks even more because me and him like I said have been friends for a very long time and now with this break up, that will soon happen. I know he’s not gonna wanna be friends. Sighhh aita for keeping this going, even though I’m doing it because I don’t want to lose him first of all and second of all I just don’t know what he’ll do to himself since the first time we did break up he was like I’ll be trying not to hurt myself and just trying to make me feel super bad.. 😢
