Man up and tell her the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts, but you'll be better for it in the long run. She will probably be hurt at first, but she'll get over it. If she can't handle it, or freaks out - is she worth having as a friend?

If she does something drastic, that's on her.

Just be real with her. And the sooner you do it the better, don't drag it out any longer than need be.

If you are concerned she might do something drastic, do you know someone in common with her that can keep a watch out for her? Like her parents, siblings, friends, etc? Perhaps if they were aware of what was going on they could help her through it.

thanks for the advice. all i really needed to do was pull myself together and do it. you three really helped out. thanks again.

Be really calm, strong and feeling for her. But remember you are not responsible for her. You are responsible for your own actions and words. You are responsible for what you say and how you say it. But you are not responsible for how she reacts to your words. That's her choice. She may play victim and hard done by in an attempt to make you feel bad about finishing the relationship. But you have to be true to yourself. You can't be true to anyone else. You must do what you feel is right for you, and do it in as courteous, considerate and respectful way as you can. That's all you can do.

Move on.

Just tell her the truth...

man, this is exactly what is happening to me, I'm facing the same problem. thanks for bring up the topic
