My boyfriend and I have been together 8 months now, and to put it honestly... I just don’t like him anymore. He doesn’t fit me. Everything he does or says annoys me or makes me mad. I enjoy being by myself, and that may be part of it, but there are things I didn’t know about him before. He’s super immature and irresponsible, he relies on his parents for everything. Examples: pumping his gas, waking him up, keeping him up to date on what’s going on with school. The worst part is he thinks it’s funny and makes light of it when I bring up how much I don’t like it. He also is extremely clingy. I can go 10 mins without answering him and he sends me multiple messages in a row.
I started realizing how much I didn’t like him not too far into things, but I thought things could get better and be overcame. About 1.5 months in he told me he loved me when we hadn’t known each other beforehand. We were still at friend level knowledge of one another. That really turned me off. I obviously didn’t reciprocate and told him I wasn’t going to. I’m honestly miserable and I really don’t want to hurt him.
I want to break up with him, but I don’t know how to word it so that I don’t hurt him or let him in on why, how, when, etc. His family keeps sending me grad gifts and they’re so sweet I feel really guilty for kind of stringing him along. I also don’t want graduation to be awkward. It’s going to be v small scale and it’s just a yikes moment waiting to happen.
I just don’t want the dating label. It makes everything an obligation and if you don’t do something you feel bad. Ugh I don’t know.... what would you do?

Breaking up with someone when it really is 'you' and not them is never easy, and never pain-free. The best way is quick and honest, and no compromises. The longer you leave it, the harder it will be. You really don't want to be asking 'how can I jilt him at the alter without hurting him'
