My boyfriend and I have been dating for 9 months. Before we started dating, we were really good friends, but about 4 months after we started dating I got really bored with him. He is also REALLY obsessed with me and I still want to be his friend which is why I haven't broken up with him. However, in a month we are going to New Jersey together because his parents invited me. They paid for the extra hotel room and everything for me already. I want to break up with him but I don't know if I should do it before I go on vacation with him, or after. Thanks for any help you can give me ♥
Sounds a bit fishy, not meaning to sound like I am saying your using him, because your not... Yet. If you take that vaction as his girl friend and then you dump him then your were using him.
So dump him confess that he his your best friend, but that is it. Tell him that you had to do it now, you couldn't go to jersey with him, and his parents knowing that your true feelings weren't out! Tell him your sorry and that his friend ship means more then a vaction and that your sorry and understand that he may not want to be friends right now, but that hopefully he can get past this and forgive you for not have being honest sooner!
I know this sound awfull because you really probley wanted that trip but it is the best and if he is your true best friend he will still let your go! That is what friends do. You guys can still be close just not romantically!!!

maybe he'll still invite you as a friend, or take one of his guy friends.

LOL_x0x answered Sunday July 26 2009, 8:22 pm: Break up with him now. If you're over him, there's no use forcing yourself to stay with him. Plus, he might think you only stayed with him to go on vacation (which I know you're not, but he might get that impression and that would suck).
Maybe he can find a friend to bring with in your place?

Even though they already paid, they might still be able to get the money back, since it's a month in advance.
theadvicegiver answered Sunday July 26 2009, 7:42 pm: well if you dont want to out with him anymore than just break up with but do it carefully and i would do it before because if you dont love him anymore than just break up. [ theadvicegiver's advice column | Ask theadvicegiver A Question ]
