help guys and girls...what should I say? I'm planning on breaking up with my bf of 2 months as it is not going great- my heart isnt in it neither is my head. anyway to the point, i have to do this breakup via phone or email. and much as i'm tempted by the email i know its harsh so i'm going to phone but i don't really know how to say it as i'm shocking speaking to people about this kinda stuff.
any advice?
thanks!
ps i have to phone or email cos we live about 3 or 4 hours away and dont really see each other much.
any advice?

"It's not really working out, I think we should finish things."
just tell him ur not feeling it any more
imo don't do it by email, at least do it by phone or by face
Or not. Don't do it by email though. Or phone. You should really do it face to face. Surely they deserve the 3 hour trip?
The phone is the least worst option I guess.
Hold on - you've been 'with' them for two months. You're 3-4 hours away and don't see each other much. So, how many times have you actually seen them?
Honestly? I think breaking up with somebody by phone is fine in this instance. If you want to make it 'nicer', then write the person a letter. I don't think two months is anything you should really be worried about breaking anybodies heart over.
Quick and straight to point - don't head fuck him with crap. Tell him truth and have done with it.
Leave the "I wanna be friends" and "Its not you, it's me" shit at the door and just tell him your feelings have changed and you don't fancy him anymore.
You can do it by txt, e-mail or phone....He might respect the phone call the most but fuck it, you don't owe him that much after 2 months. But you do owe him proper reason and not some made up fake one imo.
thanks for your advice though
