Are you happy in the relationship anymore? Is the relationship too stressful? I was in a relationship for six months and I just honestly needed to take a break and be single for a little bit. Maybe that's what you need. Sometimes being in the same relationship for a long time makes you realize what you're missing when you don't have a boyfriend.
Just sit him down and talk to him for a good bit about why you want to break up. You can always be friends after you break up, and who knows? Maybe you'll end up getting back together. Don't worry about staying in the relationship just to keep him happy, because if you're not feeling the same, then what's the point? You'd only be hurting him by prolonging it if you're seriously considering breaking it off.
Breaking up is always hard but I hope it works out! I hope I helped a little, and good luck. It'll all work out. :) [ mandyx3's advice column | Ask mandyx3 A Question ]

Talk to him about it and if you guys had something good, you guys will still be friends after the break up. You can propose "taking a break" (but only if you want to) and see how you do without him for a while. In other words, not being in an exclusive relationship. Talk to him privately and see how he feels about you and the relationship and just say how you feel. If he's a good guy, he'll understand and he'll want you to be happy :) [ xldywing's advice column | Ask xldywing A Question ]
