    Yes, I wasn't suggesting I use that method, it was a reply to those who suggested I use what has been used on me. That worked for me as it was a predominently sexual relationship and she knew it was gauranteed to put a smile on my face. In fact I haven't had sex with the current girl even though we've slept in the same bed after each date - the fact she is not the slightest bit interested in sex is one of the reasons I want to end it.

    imo, the truth is always best, it will help her in the long run :) x

    there's no easy way to say this, but I'm getting back with my ex-boyfriend", then she laid on my bed and undressed and said but I didn't want to leave you without you enjoying this one more time... I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

    I am imagining that you told her to f**k off and booted her out naked into the cold but my imagination has always been a little far fetched,

    IMO, the best is the most straight-forward. Remain tactful and kind, but honest and direct.

    There's plenty of ways to end the relationship.

    1. After moving and changing all your contact info, send her a fax, email, or leave her a voicemail.
    2. Same as above, but don't bother notifying her.
    3. Tell her you've decided to be gay.
    4. Start acting like an asshole. Pick your nose in public. She'll dump you.
    5. Download some barnyard porn and show it to her, telling her you think it's hot.

    Be very afraid if the above suggestions don't work.

    Those are the worst recommendations... but funny.

    Be honest about your feelings & straight-forward regarding how things will be from now on.

    I agree with all those above that said to be honest. No one likes a bad breaker upper.

    Tell her you're going to join the JW cult and you can only be with a JW.

    I did that when I joined the JWs, and it didn't go over very well. I would have been better off sending a fax. W
