Talk to him and you will be relieved of that burden!

My opinion would be is to try and talk to him and express to him how you feel. Maybe he doesnt even know you feel this way?\nTalk to him and tell him exactly how you feel and if he is not willing to fix the problem then its obvious your in a bad relationship but atleast try to approach the problem before breaking up with him.

Wow, that's a complicated problem.  It's going to be hard to try to answer this because I can't see the details when I'm typing.  \n\nYou say that you've been alone for about a month, which is long for you, but that you feel good about it.  Considering that you've been in a lot of unhappy relationships, that's probably understandable.  You sound like you're putting an awful lot of pressure on yourself to find "the one" before it's too late.  Then you take out this pressure, in turn, on your boyfriends.  I think in your concern to hurry up and find someone permanent, you're pushing yourself way too fast into relationships, and trying to stake a claim before you really know that you love them (otherwise, you wouldn't get over them in a couple of weeks...)\n\nHowever, knowing this about yourself isn't necesssarily going to help you change.  You could seek counselling, but that's expensive.  Here's what I would do, when I feel like I'm acting in ways that aren't in my best interest (and believe me, that's pretty often): \n\nFirst, take some more time off from relationships to get your head together.  You sound kind of panicky right now, which is not a good state to be in when you're starting to date somebody.  Try to balance yourself a little.\n\nWhen you are in a relationship next, and you want it to work out, you have to think *all* the time about the consequences of all your actions.  Being a good partner is work.  You can't just trust that you're going to act in a way that is good for you and the other person, you have to think about it.  Every morning, think to yourself, "How would I like this day to go?  Do I want to accomplish anything specific in my relationship?"  If you feel like talking about your partner about long term plans, etc., *stop* first and think:  "How is he going to react to this?  We've been dating for X number of weeks.  Is this an appropriate time to ask this question of him?"  \n\nAt the end of the day, think over what you and your partner have done that day, what conversations you have had.  Did anything upset either of you?  Can you do anything constructive to make it better?  Do you see yourself falling into your old patterns?\n\nI guess what I'm saying is, you can't always trust your instincts to work in your own best interests.  You have to put some control back into your mind.  This may not sound very fun, but it's often what relationships need most.\n\nTake your next relationship slowly.  *Think* about the moves you make before you make them.  Give yourself time to fall in love, without worrying for the moment about the future.  If you try too hard to grab it, it'll slip out of your hands.\n\nI don't know if any of this helps you, it's the advice I would (and have, at times) given myself, and it seems to help.  \n\nGood Luck

ask him why he is mad at you

Do it the old fashion way. Tell him directly. Or just say, things aren't really working out between us. I want to break up with you.

Are you happy with him? if you are then try o t make things a little more fun. spice things up.  But if your not happy then get out of the relationship b/c life is too short to be unhappy.

tell him as soon as possible tell him you didn't want to dissapoint him at a bad time, get it out in the open nice and quick you know like a band-aid (correction adhesive medical strip)

Just be honest with him. Tell him that you don't love him anymore. Because if you aren't happy then your child will know it. No matter how young he/she might be. Children can sense when things aren't "right"! DON'T EVER STAY WITH SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CHILD BY THEM! If your not happy, your child won't be happy!

If you are not happy in the relationship then you should get out of it.Dont stay with a person and then cheat on them and justify it by saying"oh but i wasnt happy",have some respect.

it's not his responsibility to make you happy. If you aren't happy it's your fault. You need to find out why you aren't happy, what you need to be happy, and then let him know how he fits into that.

if your boyfriend dosn't make you feel loved and happy.. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL WITH HIM!?!?!?\n\nyou are better than that. you don't deserve to be treated that way. Get rid of him and find someone worthy of you.

Theres ton's of ways to tell guys. Just say that you dnt want to leave him. if u lie u will just make it worst for it urself, lol. Just tell him in face (not like yelling or bein rude) and just say it.

Let him know how you feel, you need to draw the line somewhere. If you don't tell him you can't expect him to know what you feel.

You can joke around with him one day and tell him how you feel. If he has a look of confusion or disgust, then tell him you were kidding. The only other way is to talk to him. Just let him know you still want to be friends if he doesn't care for you like that, it's just something you need to know.

Meet him at a public place, like the food-court at a mall. Bring one or two friends with you. And tell him face-to-face. Thats the mature way to do it. You owe it to him to give him this chance to ask you, directly, what went wrong and why you are breaking up with him. Doing it with notes or email doesnt let both you and he say what needs to be said.

The same thing you did as a teen, Egg cars and T.P houses!\nJust be yourself silly lady!\nIf you're boyfriend doesn't like you, then kick him to the curb! He doesn't know what he's missin'

Look, whether he's "clueless", or lying, at least tell him why you're mad. Then, you can be sure that you've done what would be reasonable to him if he really was "clueless". Explain why you were mad, without getting angry. Hard to believe maybe, but he might get mad at you now, because he thinks it's unreasonable for you to get mad at him, then not tell him what you're mad about, because then he can't try to improve himself.\n\nWhen in doubt, tell the truth.-Mark Twain.\nGood luck.
