Question

Help answer this question below.

I need to break it off with my boyfriend. Problem is, he moved here to be with me (different state), and he has no one else but me here.

We've been dating for a little over a year. Only in the last six months have we been living together. I'm not attracted to him anymore. After living with him day in and day out, I feel that he is a lot more needy and dramatic than he ever let on to. Also, I feel that he has this underlying way of being manipulative and a bit controlling. BUT IN A NON-VIOLENT, NICE WAY, to put it. Can't really put my finger on it. Just doesn't feel right anymore. I feel terrible because he has no friends here, no one to fall back on for help or support. I just can't do it anymore.

    He moved to be with you from a different state? Was this an internet hook up with someone from another state, cos those never workout? If not, unless he has some issues as to where he can't afford to move back just let him know. It would be far more devasting to him if he picks up on your signals and you insist their is nothing wrong hoping he will leave on his own.

    You are really in a pickle! It's easy for us to sit here at our keyboards and give you advice, but telling him something like that face to face is going to be difficult and awkward. BUT.. for your own sanity you're just going to have to tell him. Hopefully, he has the means to get back home and either get his old job back or have time to look. There is no best time to do this, so just take a deep breath have that talk. Good luck.

    Your situation is weird. How can anybody be manipulative and controlling in a nice way?? I do not understand this.

    Maybe you can help him move back to where he came from.

    Relationships are a gamble, and so is uprooting yourself to move to another State to be with someone.

    The mother of one of my daughter's friends moved from California to Michigan in persuit of a romantic happily ever after.... Bad move, uprooting her children, and moving a way from family and friends, since her romance was over soon after she arrived.... That guy didn't worry about what she was going to do, and she had children.... She was an adult who took a gamble, and lost.... she rented a house for herself and family, worked until she got enough money to move again, and walked away with a lesson well learned...

    Life is short. You have to do what's right for you. He'll be alright.
