I (M20) don’t know when or how to break up with my girlfriend (F19) how could I?
I’ve been in a 3 year long relationship and my girlfriend has a lot of mental illness, she has anxiety,depression, ADHD, panic disorder just to name some. I don’t know how to break up because I am no longer happy in this relationship and just want to be left alone. I never get to hangout with friends anymore or even have dinner with my family bc she ALWAYS wants to be with me and hates eating anything but fast food. Anyways I just don’t know what to do because she has a few panic attacks every day and when she does I just want to leave and get out and break up with her so bad because of how she acts and treats me during them but I know that would be a asshole move to leave during something like that. But when everything is fine I second guess myself and tell myself nothing is going wrong in the moment so I can’t just out of nowhere breakup with her. I feel like we’ve been together to long to do it over text but idk I’m just so over it she’s with me every day all day 24/7 365 and I just can’t anymore. Any advice on how/what I should do??
There's no good or right way to break up with someone. It's always going to feel shitty, and yeah, that's definitely compounded by her mental health situation (but honestly, if you cannot handle a break up, you should not be dating...). So just do it however you're actually going to do it. Continuing this when you don't want to is ultimately unfair to both of you. Sure, it'd be better in person, but if the only way you can do it is over text, then just do that. Stop overthinking and talking yourself out of it. You want to break up, and the sooner you can do that, the sooner you can both grieve and move on with your lives. It's going to be okay, okay?
