Dear Its a Guy Thing,I need advice on how to fully break up with my boyfriend of 6 months. We broke up about three months ago but he simply wont leave me alone. I know its best to create space for us but how do I tell him this straight up without sending him in an emotional situation. I feel like he is trying to keep me around even if we are not together which stops me from moving on fully.Help!Jessica--------------------------------------Dear Jessica,There isn’t much to say. You are no longer in a relationship and STILL you feel like you are. I commend you for not becoming emotionally damaging to your ex-boyfriend but I must be honest. It sounds to me like he is manipulating you. He obviously knows just how kind you are, and is now taking your kindness for a weakness. He probably thinks that if he hangs around, you will fall in your old patterns as a couple and become as you once were. If that isn’t what you want, perhaps you should tell him that you need some space in order to move on. If he cries and acts foolish, so be it. You have to take care of Number One: YOU!If you have a query to ask, contact itsaguything@newtimes.co.rw
