I am going to break up with my girlfriend of 7 years because I feel I am not ready to settle down and feel I would be unhappy a few years down the line if we were to get married.
I'm feeling very down at the moment - she is back from holiday on Thursday and I will be telling her then. Any advice on coping with this painful experience from people who have been through this before?

Just be honest and truthfully with her....

don't tell her you're antecipating unhapiness. come up with a lie and tell her you have a new girlfriend. good luck.

excuse my english in the last msg...u get the jist of it!

yeah, what's with people these days? they want to be happy for life ffs. it's a silly impossible dream.
unless you have another person i strongly advise you to reconsider what you're expectations are of life. give or take, people are not very different.
anyway, asking advice here is really sad - but eillustrates the degree how of much unprepared you are for serious commitments.
goodluck again.

agreed... if you wont commit after 7 years you probably wont ever.tell her you want to become a monk

get her to blow you while sitting on the toilet after you've just defecated.
tuckermax.com - worked for him, I'd day it'd work for you too.

what I'm interested in is when you started to feel this way. at what point does it stop being a wee casual thing? 3 years? 5 years? SEVEN YEARS?!
I'd think about this long and hard buddy, unless you have been selling yourself and your girlfriend short for a long long disgracefully long period of time, you're probably just shite-ing your breeks and it'll pass when you have a few adult thoughts.
(interpret the last 2 words however you wish ;)

In all seriousness don't be honest. You want some time out and to get on the booze and drugs like us all, find a gf who'll do it with you... much more fun.
Or make settling down fun, is there anything you can't do while settled down that you could while single? The answer is my friend... NO, if she's hot and is good in the sack. Keep her happy and stay and show her who's boss.

tell her you don't like her ability to kern.

Just tell her EXACTLY why you are breaking up, since it's a common reason.
Although...I'm still wondering why you'd be in the relationship for 7 years before realizing that she was not the one you wanted to be with for a long time. Unless the issue is about commitment to anyone.
- kelpie0
yeah fuck, if she can't kern and has kept this from you for 7 long years, then tell her to get to fuck and throw her stuff out in the street.
