I'll cut to the chase. Me and my partner have been together now for just over 3 months. We're on opposite sides of the world. I'm in Europe and he's in the states.
I don't think we're going to work out, its so long distance I don't think we'll ever see each other so there isn't really much of a future in this. He's a really sweet and caring guy and if he were within distance of me being able to see him (not every day but maybe a couple of times a month) then I'd most likely stay with him. I feel like I could be doing so much more with my life if I were without the burden of having to keep up an online relationship. I'm online constantly talking and this is distracting me from some very important things such as my studied; I've not got much of a social life anymore and its probably not helping. We also don't have too much in common, so I'm kind of confused as to what it is that's holding us together. I want to remain friends with him, I don't want to break his heart and I don't want him hurt. What do I do! Any advise or answers would be so very loved.
Thanks

The only thing you can do is tell him the reasons for breaking up,i.e. what you wrote in your post.

LDRs are difficult and if you're not happy and you think it's not going to work out you must end it.

All I can say is that you would make better friends than anything else, myself and my bestmate are so different in nearly everything. But he's my bestmate cause he understands me better than anyone. Seriously, ask if you can stay friends because if he's keeping your interest so much. Then maybe your meant to be friends.

I hope this helps in the slightest, Besides. I'm sure you'll need a playful, jolly and happy Jynx... With a really serious attitude. Hopefully that'll remind you who I am. If you need me, feel free to Message me okay :D

How old are you? How old is he? Online or not, honesty is the best policy but, no matter how nice you want to be, bad news will not be so nicely received.

Be honest, just like you are doing here.

3 months isn't really together. After all...

Cut it clean. With no promises or expectations.

Or one-sided "friendship" hassles for him.

Tell him flat out.
