Perhaps you each don't appreciate each other. If it's not appreciated, it doesn;t matter how fine the treasure.

I had a really good friend that I was like that with, it turned out after several attempts that we were too much alike and there lied the problem. Its true opposites attract.

I believe that it's the preconceived notions that people have before getting into the relationship/marriage are what break them up so quickly. People all seem to think that they're the ones that are going to have the Cinderella fairy tale, and that they're the lucky ones. They forget that after the cute little party where everything is white, and romantic and you get tons of presents that you have to go back to living real life. They think that they'll never fight, so when they fight they want to get divorced. They forget that it's A marriage, not just the wedding. They forget that you'll have to work at it, not just wake up every day with your hair perfect, and and your life is a song. Sh*t happens. This is exactly why people get divorced- they want to be the exception, and they want the fairy tale, and when they don't get it, they don't want to try anymore. It's really, really, really sad.

They may have strong personalities and have their own personal opinions on things that causes them to have a difference of opinion -- basically not enough compromise or understanding in the relationship.

Because the truth is that you are not perfect for one another hence not being able to make it work.

It might be because the plain old friendship part of the relationship is gone. The part where you giggle and tease each other, push each other into the swimming pool, and make out in the back of the movie theater.

Because God doesn't really want most people to be together for very long.

Does he want to break up? What's the problem? What's that makes you so unhappy?

Because life sucks, and so do vacuum cleaners. External influences often make relationships untenable.

Lets face it, you have all the ingredients for a perfect relationship, except you never mentioned trust and respect.
Is there a possible third person in your mates life, that you are not aware of?
If everything else is in order, check the other party's past love relationships. you may discover a hidden ghost that has come to surface(or has been there all the time).

Wow, I have this very same problem as you, except my boyfriend doesn't have a kid. We try all the time to make everything work, but we are both jealous from trust issues on both parts, and we can see a future together, we look at houses together, we want the same things in our future, such as kids, we both work similiar jobs where we can be there for each other, (cop/paramedic) and he does love me so much, but I cannot get over the things he's done and some things about his personality just bugs me soo much. The only thing being , I love him so much, Why WHY Can I not accept him for who he is? I've even tried counselling and she just told me that my bf has given me a lot of problems. I have now broken up with him, to figure out what I want and where I want to be with him in our relationship, and it's so sad to not be with him, but I think it's for the best. But my biggest thing is, he tells me he's not going to wait for me to make up my mind. So I think that answers my question right there. Mind you, do I really expect him to wait for me? Maybe if I thought he really wanted it to work, but it just seemed as he wants me now, and if I need time to myself, that's not ok with him and he's going to move on...so yea try that...

I'm sorry you're going through this experience.
However, there are many, many factors that can affect a relationship.
In my opinion, unless people know you personally or the specifics of this relationship it all comes down to suppositions or conjecture. You will find no easy answers here.
what are the best words to break up ur relation?
