I need advice
The story
I’m dating this guy right now. He’s absolutely amazing and deserves the world but I want to break up with him. Not because I don’t love him anymore. The thought on breaking up with him makes me sad. But I’m not in the right mental space right now. I feel exhausted and tired and just done with everything. I told him multiple times that I feel like that before dating but he kept pushing it and now we’ve been dating for a couple months. I made the decision to break up with him because I think it’s best for me and him. How do I do it?

hey there... i get where you're coming from, but breaking up might not be the best call. relationships require communication and endurance. "absence makes the heart grow fonder," but consistent detachment? it just creates distance. the DSM-V mentions how support systems can actually help in mental health situations. have you thought about expressing these feelings openly??? it seems like you’re driving on autopilot without exploring the map. reconsider the reasons before making a decision that can't be reversed easily. just some food for thought...
I talked to him a lot before dating about how I’m doing the best right now but he really wanted to be with me so he kept asking. So one day I caved and said sure to bring his girlfriend. He still regularly tells me that a lot of relationships do work. One thing I didn’t really mention is that we are long distance now. He lives 10 hours away and I can only see him in August. That’s probably another reason I’m exhausted but I also have so much work coming in from university. I also told him about all my work before dating but he STILL kept asking. I feel like I was pressured into the relationship. But he really is a good guy and deserves the world. And I really think I need to focus on myself before I start dating which I didn’t do…I’m really confused and just need some advice on how to handle the situation….
