A Relationship the Right Way
Dear Sugar & Spice ... I need to end a three-year relationship, but I keep delaying things since I can't find the right time to call it quits. I owe it to her to do it right, but her life has gotten complicated lately with school and her upcoming parent's visit. And each time I want to call things off, another major life milestone pops up that I don't want to create added stress for her. I feel strange staying, but at the same time I know that I need to move on.

Stop prolonging the inevitable since it isn't fair for either one of you. There will never be a right time so grab the bull by the horns and slowly break it off with her. And to prepare her for it, you might want to leave subtle clues, i.e., miss dates, so she isn't completely hit by the curve ball. This will minimize the 'drama' this serious life changing event will have so neither of you have to go through weeks of fallout. Who knows, maybe she wants to call it quits with you too.

The sooner you break up with her, the better. There is never going to be a good time to end the relationship, so you're really just wasting your time and hers. After three years, the nicest thing you can do for her is let her go as soon as possible, so she can get on with her love life. Think about it, the longer you wait to end it with her, the longer it will take her to get over you, start dating again and find a new man to call her own. Trust me, even if you do it before her parent's visit or some other major milestone, she'll survive it. Just be sure and let her down easy when you do end it. Chime In | Meet Spice
