    Advice on letting someone you've been dating down easy.....
    This probably belongs in the saloon but i know i'll get more responses in here in the interim. This girl is as sweet as can be and and has been as good to me as possible in so many ways. She said she loved me 6 months ago when I was blacked out and I guess I said it back but the next day I was like hey sorry i got so drunk last night I barely remember anything and havent said I love you since even though she is madly in love with me. She even bought me a boat as a gift because mine was tied up in court with a crooked mechanic who tried to overcharge me 9k and it notorious for screwing ppl over. I told her I couldn't accept it and when she refused to let me give it back I told her then I'll pay for her back for it. It was like a 30k boat and I already have a 17 foot whaler I love in purgatory. Anyways for months I have known I don't love her and don't see a future between us. Her dad has bad cancer and she starts law school in two weeks. I just don't want to be an a hole and the timing couldn't be worse with all that is going on with her family life and how much focus it will take her when she starts school. I just feel stuck with the timing aspect and still owing her like 20k. Was not expecting that expense this summer.

    For months I have been trying to get out of this and even dumped her one time when I was a little drunk and she was being a bitch. She went ballistic and even threatened to kill herself that night. I got very angry she did that as it is a very sensitive subject for me. She promised to never do it again and that she was just saying that etc and I took her back. I started to have a crush on an old flame that became single after years 2 months ago and we have been flirting a lot. I really think she could be the one but I have to get out of this relationship first. I was thinking of saying I'm depressed etc and my therapist is adamant I should be single focusing on recovery. It's not you it's me type of thing and say I need a break for a while and just let it fade etc. I know a lot of you will say just be honest with her but I just know it would do more damage than coming up with a believable excuse on why we should not see each other.

    Freaking social media also is a bitch. If I start dating that other girl and she sees it would be ugly. Dios Mio. Any advice would be appreciated. I even thought about saying I am moving to florida for work in a month and can't do long distance. This is really weighing on me boys.

            I'd just be honest and do not string her along any further. If you lie, she will probably find out and cause you more drama down the line. Yes, she will be hurt but you have to do what you have to do.

              Just keep her on the side. Who knows??? She's probably dating someone behind your back too.

                      that's why just being honest is probably your best bet but your call.

                        Similar situation but no boat and girl was never going to become anything close to a lawyer but was a good girlfriend. I knew I would never marry her so when the ex-wife contacted me I used it as my out. Told her my ex wanted to get back together and I was going to give it a shot. Never heard from her again.

                                          If true, stay with her...she adores you and will be a life changer.

                                                My only advice would be being honest. At least you can walk away not being an ahole and let her move on.

                                                How did you let it get to this point and string bere along if you cared about her...

                                                    I've watched enough Judge Judy to know one can't get a gift returned after a break up......unless it's a guy who got the gift from a girl. That strident wench will laugh at the notion your boat is a gift. She'll screech, "What girl in her right mind is just gonna give you a boat. Who do you think you are, Casanova?"

                                                    If the girl goes, the boat goes.

                                                      haven't read any of the replies, but sometimes, if you can, lead her to the decision that she wants to dump you; make her decide to end it.....

                                                      if she doesn't know, tell her you;re a degenerate gambler (or something else you know is a deal breaker for her), and it'll be her decision to kick you to the curb....

                                                        My question is...why you don't like her? Give her a chance to know her better. Girls are prone to feel rejection and that rejection sometimes will challenge them to keep them going. If you really don't like her, keep the distance because the more you get attachment the more you just hurt her.

                                                          bottom line, just be honest with her and say, look, you're great, beautiful, any guy lucky to have you, but I'm just not there/feeling it/feeling the same (whatever it is, be honest), and am not ready for a committed relationship.....

                                                          honesty generally always the best policy....

                                                          and, my advice is to be upfront and end it, don't start the sneakin' around routine and play both sides of the fence.....

                                                              if you can't muster the courage to directly tell her, invite her over and have this playing in the background on a loop:





                                                              shoes's kinda on the other foot in the song, but trust me, she'll get the point......
