I wanna get right to the point: I really need help with breaking up with my boyfriend, I'm actually very unsure if I even should
My boyfriend and I have an interesting history together starting from March of last year blahblahblah, around April of this year we began to be very off and on and after a month off for September, at the start of October we agreed to give it another shot for like the 8th time maybe.
Currently, we barely even talk due to his work (he has long night shifts from Thurs-Sunday, so he is either asleep or at work) and I'm honestly fine with that, I don't mind how he chooses to spend his free time either. When he is off work, he's mostly gaming, and we have been getting once a day together since Halloween. Except last time we saw each other he left without saying "I love you" and yeah it might sound stupid to start thinking about breaking up because of that BUT I thought we reached that checkpoint since he started saying it again a couple weeks back.
I'm not a terribly ugly girl and I believe I have made significant progress towards being a more understanding and permissive girlfriend so what I'm feeling is "hey if you keep feeling on and off about me why don't we just break up?" I have about 2 other guys who have shown slight interest in me in the past month so I would rather jump at new opportunities than to keep beating this dead horse. But am I giving up on him or am I sticking up for myself? I know sharing this with him will cause a drift between us, he'll start thinking negatively because of me if he isn't already and I can't ask any of my friends for advice because I already know they will push me into a breakup because they HATE him. Honestly, I don't care what I get out of this; advice, opinions, even reactions anything is fine idc I just want to feel "seen" I guess
