Oki, my situation was almost the same as yours, except I was in in Nathan\'s part.
My ex girlfriend started having the same feelings as you,and I unconsciously or not, felt that something wasnt right, that we could be breaking up, and I guess your bf may have picked up some \"vibes\" and felt it too, so he said what he said, to try and save it. Its a desperate thing he did, cos I did the same,. I \'d tell her how much I loved her and was afraid of us two breaking up and all, every possible wrong thing that would make you feel like you do,but one has to go through it to learn musnt he?
If you dont love him anymore then please when you break up dont say \"I still love you but im not inlove with you anymore\". As my gf was breaking up with me, she told me that and it made my mind go crazy for the following two months. Tell him that you did love him but now all you feel is friendship and that you tried to save your realtionship but you couldnt carry on anymore. Tell him that you still do care about him and wonder about him, but you cant do it as before and that as much as you tried to save what you two had,you felt that the break up is the right thing to do.If you carry on with this fase of \"pre break up\" it will make you two feel very bad. He will be trying everything he possibly can to win you back and you will be going round and round trying to find a way of not hurting him so much.
You will have to hurt him a bit, no escape from that.What you have to decide is to either to give him a quick sharp pain and let him \"heal\" a lot faster or drag him in agony for a long time.
Honesty will get him through this a lot faster. If you say romantic things (i do still love you,I thought you were the one, im gonna miss you etc...) during the break up it will make it harder for him.
Best wishes Lady D****
