I’ve been dating my girlfriend for about 3 months with a rough patch in the beginning due to some mental health issues. I know there’s nothing I can really do to make a break-up go smoothly, but in the past weeks i’ve realized we have a lot of different paths we want to take in life and breaking up would be the best path for both of us so that it isn’t hard in the future. The issue is, her birthday is very soon (seriously in two days) and she’s been having a rough time in general and I really really don’t want to cause her anymore distress. I’m her first relationship and our rough patch in the beginning showed she takes things very hard, so I was just hoping to get some advice and/or support so I could possibly minimize that.
Thank you 🙂
TLDR; I really don’t want to hurt my girlfriend when we break up and need advice.
