My boyfriend and I just broke up after a year and a half of dating. We're going to call later and I want to figure out what to say to get him to understand how im tired of this.
quick backstory: we've broken up 5 times previously so this will be the 6th. the first 2 have been because of an argument and the rest have just been because he doesnt know what he wants.
I'm not really sure why we're breaking up this time, but honestly im so tired of this im not even really that upset. This is more of like a vent post but im also just looking for ideas on how to tell him that im done with him. Should I just block him? We'll always get back together and we'll be really good but then the honeymoon phase ends and he breaks up with me. I found a picture he took of his friend shirtless and when I asked if he knew it would hurt me he said he knew but he still took it anyway so ever since then I have started to detach from him
Anyway, every time we break up I detach more from him and trust him less and I think at this point im done with him but im not sure how to tell him that. It's also really scary because I still love him and it hurts but i feel like I need to think more about myself instead of letting him constantly hurt, but i dont know who to talk to about this because hes been my only close friend so I feel like im doing this all alone. What do I say to make him understand that he's hurt me and that he should really think about if he wants to break up because I dont want to get back together again if this is it? he slept over the other day and said a bunch of things like how he loved me and was sorry he hurt me in the past and didnt want to anymore, how i made him happy and when he wasnt with me everything is dull but then he just said now he only said it bc he was on drugs and doesnt even remember saying that. Why does he keep hurting me? Should I stay friends with him or would it just be better to let him go? I care about him deeply and im still in love with him but Im really just so tired. Any advice or maybe words of encouragement would be really great honestly lol sorry if none of this made sense
