[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you fear might happen if you break up with him? The phone is fine for a 3-month relationship.[/quote]

I am afraid he won't handle the info well. I don't know what he is capable of. I just know he acts a little off and gets angry. So I am trying to think of what to say that won't make him mad.[/quote]

When thinking like this comes up, slow down and spend a little time unpacking what you are worried about here. Do you worry that he will yell at you, say horrible stuff? It sounds like you are concerned he will come over. Would he come over to punish you for breaking up with him or to try to talk you out of it?

It sounds like you have the option of telling him "Your behavior is scary to me and that's why I want to break up" or the option of telling him some variation on "High school is over, and I can't commit to seeing you regularly over the summer so I think we should go our separate ways now." You can do it over the phone. You can text him. Honestly, it doesn't really matter.  What you are practicing right now is how to follow your instincts. If it feels unsafe to break up with someone in person, definitely you should break up with them but also you may be right that creating distance is a safety precaution as well. [/quote]
