[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a 5-year relationship with a wonderful man who I love in many ways and who I think is a great person - but over 2014 I really understood that he'd be a good husband for someone else, not me. Our values have changed as we've gotten older and so have our priorities. I'm increasingly feeling stifled and mismatched but I don't have the courage to dump him. We already broke up three times and got back together and two of those times were at my initiation (one was mutual). I just don't want to hurt him again and I'm not ready for the fight that will follow. And as much as I don't want to date him, I feel some anxiety of not having the comfort of his friendship and company in my life again. And I'm scared of his reaction to another break up. Not in a "he's violent" way but in a "I can't take his sadness, anger, arguments and all the negative emotions associated with breaking up".

I also genuinely care about him so I hate how hurt he might be by this and I NEVER wanted to hurt him.

Any stories of hard break ups that ended up being the right decision?[/quote]
