How can I break up with someone after 6 years of being together?

You will GET OVER THIS EVENTUALLY. Time heals everything. Your doing the right thing, dont waste anymore time. Think about how great being in a healthy relationship will be, and think about how wasting another 6 years of your life with a man who is not what you want will be. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SACRIFICE HAVING A GREAT RELATIONSHIP, just to avoid some pain and tears?
