Dear Josh,
I can’t break up with my bf of three years because I don’t want to hurt him, even though I know he isn’t right for me. What should I do?

Amy,
This is a problem I and many people I know have had. If you think about it, you are hurting him more by staying with him because you are not allowing him to find someone who truly wants to be with him. That’s not my real concern though. I’m more concerned with why you are not taking care of yourself enough to break up with him and find someone that will help to you on your journey to happiness. There are so many programs out there that can help you get the experience strength and hope to make this jump. One program is co-dependence anonymous. I know it sounds crazy but it costs nothing and will help show you your side of the street in your relationship and take the focus off of his feelings and put it back on to you which are where they need to be anyway. This is not selfish; it is only empowering you to be the best person and eventually partner, lover, and human being you can be.
