I want to back out from my relationship.

[lonelybf123]

After 7 years of being together with my girlfriend, I’ve decided it’s time for me to let myself out of the commitment and enjoy my life. I want to start living how I want to live and meet new people. I just don’t know how to bring this topic up to my now long-distance gf. She migrated about a year ago to move with her family and ever since then, things have definitely changed. I guess we both have had the time to be by ourselves for once and I think things wouldn't work out anymore. I still seem to be lost and confused with what to do. Can anyone help me out here?

Tell her what you want to do, be brief!
She might be feeling the same or will be in a total shock. It's better that you realize this now than when you have kids etc

The best way to convey this to her is via text message or email.

is it? wouldn't it be better if we talk face to face?

Brief in what sense? Can I really tell her everything in brief without going too much into details?

Tell her face to face if you can. Be totally honest and from the heart. She may feel the same or will be upset. Just be prepared for the upset and be as supportive as you can but don't give in when you see her upset. It will be heartbreaking but will be the best for you both.
