Breaking up with someone

[EnzoMCFC]

Stop pissing the skid marks off the side of the shitter

Be honest and if you simply don't feel the same any more then say that.

Slow down OP. We are in the middle of a very long lock down, getting another shag, ergh girlfriend could be months away. Unless you live together tell her your boss is sending you to London 5 days a week. Bonk her brains out at the weekends and have the other days free.
Of course as soon as lock down ends bin her off using any of the very very sensible suggestions posted previously.

I think I am one of those people who can easily cope with lockdown seeing few people, but when I have no space it is a different matter. It's not like I can make any excuses for space, everything is shut and I only go into the office twice a week. I'm trapped

There's not really a nice way to break up with someone but it's not fair to stay with someone that you don't want to be with either, to them or you. Best to keep it simple & just say "I'm really sorry but this isn't working for me". I wouldn't go into too much detail as you can end up going around the houses trying to explain things.

Someone I used to work with claimed his "mate" used to tell women that he was into shit play if he wanted to get rid of them. This seems a risky strategy though as you could end up being known as the scat man.

Just do it. Move on. If they found somebody better and the shoe was on the other foot, they wouldn't be posting on Mumsnet to find the kindest, most softest way to break up with you.

I didn't mention seeing people ffs, I mentioned getting sex.

Hell you just can't help some people

Be sure it is what you want before you open your mouth to her. Women remember.

If it's a space / time issue then maybe agree a time to sit down and spend some time together, and a time for you to go off and do your own things, communicate it and manage her expectations and nobody will end up feeling left out, sneaky or shackled. Just know that while off doing your own things, she'll be doing the same and don't begrudge her finding new hobbies or friends.

If it really is what you want, and you've slept on it and just don't see a future with her, then tell her but make yourself a promise to not raise your voice once. She'll not be happy as nobody likes feeling like they've wasted effort in something that didn't yield results, but better that than see dragging it out only for your big news to be 'yer dumped luv!' rather than that sparkly ring she was expecting.

Maybe wait to see how the relationship continues once life goes back to normal?

Making decisions like this in lockdown is like choosing a healthy meal option for tea, on the way home from the pub pissed.

They say that breaking up is hard to do.
