My boyfriend and I have been going out for five months now. He's a really awesome guy, and he cares for me a lot. However, in his past relationship, his ex-girlfriend had hurt him a lot when she dumped him for another guy. So, he's really sensitive and emotional. And in turn, he would tell me that if I ever broke up with him, he would 'hurt himself' or 'there's no point in living' without me, etc. Whenever we got in a huge argument before, he had cut himself before and even cried. I think he is crazy in love with me.

Anyway, I don't know how to pull away from this. I feel awkward when I'm with him. I don't get that feeling when I'm with him. I feel so bad, because it's so unfair to him at times, seeing how much he cares for me, but in return, I don't give out much. He never gave me the feeling that I got when I was with my ex-boyfriend.

We just don't fit together, and other people may seem to think that we're the perfect couple, but in reality, I don't feel for him the way he feels for me. So I don't know whether I should continue on with this relationship or not, and if I decide to just end it, I'm so afraid of the things he might do to himself.

A few months before, I had already tried to break up with him, but I didn't know what to say, because I really didn't want to hurt him. Am I confusing anyone? Because this whole thing is confusing me myself.

I think I am such an ass for saying all this...

Don't feel like an ass for saying it.
If you're not happy, then it's not fair to neither of you to keep going.
He's obviously too sensitive to get the harsh truth, but he has to hear it anyway.

Let him down easy and don't point out anything that he does wrong.
If he starts to act in a way that is dangerous to himself, tell his parents.
