How do I (30f) end things with my boyfriend (36m) of about 1.5years in a way that doesn't destabilize him?
I need to end my relationship. I'm not happy. We have tried working on things, but we just aren't right for each other. I've made peace with this. My boyfriend is a recovering addict. He has told me in the past that breakups have destroyed him and led him to relapse. I love him and obviously don't want to hurt him, but it really is time to end our relationship. What are some ways to do this that are clear we are breaking up, but also clear that I want him to maintain his sobriety? I still love him but I know the relationship is just wrong for me.
