Long Breakup Paragraphs

Long Breakup Paragraphs

51. You are an incredible person. I have always been able to envision a future with you, and I know we could have been happy together if circumstances were different. When we talk about a long-term relationship and maybe marrying someday and raising children, we inevitably begin discussing our spiritual beliefs, and it is obvious we are just too different. I would never ask you to resign your beliefs, just as I know you would never ask me to give up mine. For this reason, we cannot realistically have a future together. We should end it now. I will always remember you as a wonderful person, and I will always have a special place for you in my heart.

52. As I write, I already feel that I will regret this paragraph forever. You brought me joy like no other man ever could at the time I needed it most. You brought out the best in me by simply being you. Your love has lifted me to the greatest heights imaginable. I am deeply hurt, and my heart will, undoubtedly, be scarred because we cannot be together. I don't think I will ever find a love as true as ours, and I am not sure I ever want to try. Although you cannot take me with you, I have given you my heart to keep forever. Cherish it as you have cherished me, and we'll always be together.

53. I will always have a special place in my heart for you. At times, our relationship felt like it was the best thing that had ever happened to me, but lately, everything has felt wrong. It pains me to admit this, but my love for you has faded away. I cannot stay in a relationship where there is no love, and it is not fair to you to be stuck in a relationship that is a lie. I hope you can move on and meet someone who will love you the way you deserve to be loved.

54. I want to start this out by saying that you are really important to me. But it is no secret that we have been having issues lately. I feel like we have both tried our hardest to make this work, and nothing seems to be bringing us back to where we used to be. I am emotionally exhausted and I am sure you are, too. I think the best idea right now is to take a break.

55. It is not easy to tell you this, but I recently began spending some time with a man from work. You do not know him, but over the last few weeks, I have realized he and I have a connection I can no longer pretend does not exist. It is not fair to you for me to pretend our relationship is going to work when I know in my heart my attention is elsewhere. You deserve someone who will love you, and only you, and I know you will find someone who will treat you right. I will always remember our time together as a special time in my life. I hope you can forgive me and realize my leaving is the best thing for everyone involved.

56. I love you so much, and that is why it has become too hard to maintain our long-distance relationship. It is just too hard not being able to hold you, spend time with you, and just see your face. We both know chatting online and talking on the phone is a poor substitute for time spent together. If we cannot be together in person, then I do not think I want to be together at all. It is too much to bear. We have to end things so we can start healing our hearts and move on with our lives. This is not easy for me, and I cannot imagine it is easy for you either, but this is the way it has to be.

57. I do not want to be in this relationship anymore. We have built a beautiful life, and it kills me to say this, but I no longer feel fulfilled by it. Life with you was amazing, but I no longer feel that passionate spark. I think it is best to part ways and say goodbye for now while I figure out what I want.

58. There may be billions of women in the universe, but none will ever shine brighter than you. Like the North Star, you will guide my heart throughout life no matter where I am. When the night skies are full of darkness, your love will shine through to give me hope. Thank you for giving yourself to me in the purest sense. Thank you for showing me what love was meant to be. Maybe, someday, our stars will align again. Goodbye.

59. We have to be realistic when we look at our potential future together. After we spoke about our plans for the future, it became obvious to me, and probably to you too, that our futures just do not align. We want different things, and this is just too much to ignore. We should part now and learn to live without each other instead of going on together knowing it will someday end. I hate that it has to be this way, but I cannot disregard my hopes and dreams for the future. I also know you would not be happy if you gave up your dreams for me either. Even though it hurts right now, this is what is best for both of us. I will always love you.

60. I know doing this over text probably seems awful, but it is the best way for me to gather my thoughts. I just wanted to say that you have meant a lot to me. You have been there for me through some big moments in my life and I will always treasure that. You know I love you, but lately, I have not been feeling like I am in love with you. I know this is going to hurt you, but I need to be honest about how I am feeling. I would love to stay friends if that is something you are interested in, but I understand if that would be too difficult for you right now. I am sorry, goodbye.

61. I just wanted to say you have been an incredible partner and I truly appreciate everything you have done for me. That said, I am not feeling that this is the best place for me anymore, and I think I would like to be single for a while. We have created some of the best memories that I will always treasure, but I think it is time that we go our separate ways now.
