for a couple of months I went out with this guy who was married,he wasn't satisfied with his life and his wife knew he was cheating on her.he was a nice guy.he was my teacher before.I didn't have sex with him.we were just fooling around.but now I have decided to change my life and be a good person!I don't know how to tell him that.He loves me so much!!I can see that.this is gonna hurt him.I mean I was his comfort when his wife wasn't there for him!he always talked to me when he had a problem,he never talked to his wife about anything,they were always having a fight.most of the time I could hear his wife screaming at him on the phone that you are a bad husband and you have to go to hell.and for some reason he can't get divorced!he tried couple of times,but he didn't.now I want to break up with this guy but I am afraid he is gonna think I wanted him for grades.he didn't help me that much,but he helped a little.I didn't ask him to!He did it himself.how do I break up with him??

He helped you with your grades even though you didn't ask and is not the reason you two where together. This is so wrong.
To answer your question. Anytime two people in a relationship break up someone is going to be hurt. In this relationship your teacher has a lot to lose by letting his feeling show or doing anything about your breaking it off with him regardless of your reason.
First: It is wholly unethical of him to enter into a relationship with a student. He could lose his teaching license. Second: The difference in your ages, if you are below the age of consent in your state, could put him in deep legal trouble. Even though you two may never of had sex he can be charged with statutory rape. If he ever took you across a state line a federal charge of violating the Mann act can be added.
Student teacher relations ships are among the most Taboo in our society because of the authority a teacher has over a student. A student teacher relationship is second only to that a child has with their parents giving a teacher a great amount of control of their students.
Breaking up with him is the right thing to do for whatever reason you are using. To worry you will hurt him? He has already done that to himself by entering into a relationship with you. You may not understand what I am saying though breaking up with him is the best thing you can do for the both of you. If it ever gets out, now or in the future. That he had a relationship with a student he will lose his job.
