How do you break up with a guy even if you are afraid to hurt him?

Okay so I'm engaged to this really sweet guy. But the problem is that we are a long distance, so I need help because i can't be with him anymore because of family issues and we are growing apart. He's been hurt by another girl and im afraid to do it again. How can i do this?How do you break up with a guy even if you are afraid to hurt him?
Is his pain worth your unhappiness? You are leading this poor guy on horribly. The best thing you can do for both of you is to end it as soon as possible. He'll hurt and you'll hurt too, but lying to him about your level of committment is more cruel than moving on with your life by breaking it off. He will heal. And then you BOTH have the chance to find real happiness with someone else and not be living a lie.How do you break up with a guy even if you are afraid to hurt him?
By being honest with him. Break-ups are never easy, but as long as you say it with honesty not words to hurt, because your tongue is a weapon and how you use it, can effect many, so use it right.When you tell him also let him know that he is special to you,and that you really care, but there are issues and for now that it is best to move on. Let him know that nor matter what you will always be there for him, that is if you want it to be. Good Luck.
first, you should never be with someone because you pity him..


you should tell him how you feel and let it go from there.. it's not your fault he was hurt before and it's certainly not your responsibility to mend his heart if you don't feel you can be the one..


you can't love someone who isn't there physically.. there's no physical affection which is what we humans need..
Tell him you don't think he will be a good enough provider for you. This way he will work harder to make something of himself and get all sorts of girls throwing themselves at his bulging wallet. In the end he will think better of himself.
just be honest with him you may well hurt him but you are doing what you need to do.
Just start crying and blame it on something / someone else. Kind of like you are doing now.
Just tell him flat out and cut all ties completely.
just give it to him stright..... don't make him think he has a chance to get you back... anything short will create a stalker out of him....
