Knowing when to end things: Do what is right for both of you

Ending a relationship is not always easy.

When you still care about the person, and even love them, but are not in love with them, it can be very difficult in fact.

When you know for certain though that you do not care about your partner as a lover anymore, then you need to be upfront and honest with him/her.

Do  not let guilt guide you.  You may be afraid of hurting his/her feelings by breaking up with them. The longer you try to stick things out though, the more it will hurt when you do finally end things.

You must do what makes you happy ultimately in such a case, and if you are not happy in a relationship, do not stay in it just to make the other person happy.  It is not fair to you or them.
