How to breakup when you’re emotionally dependent?

Question

Me and my boyfriend are both 20 and we’ve been together for over almost a year but we were best friends first.
We were great friends but we aren’t the best lovers, we are just two different people and we argue ALOT. The arguments are draining me and I’m tired. He’s an AMAZING person but I can’t continue this. I’m starting to suffer emotionally, mentally and academically, which is especially hard for me, my damn near perfect GPA took a small hit this semester. 
To make matters worse we are incredibly emotionally dependent on one another because we eat together/study together/text and talk 24/7. He even made his schedule so that we got out of class at the same time. He tells me all the time I’m the only thing that makes him happy. He’s not the only thing that makes me happy but he’s essentially my best friend right now. So breaking up would really mean starting over.
It’s so hard for me because idk who I would study with, who I would eat with. Idek how I would spend my weekends if he wasn’t with me.
At the same time I really want to get out of this relationship. It’s just really tough and I need REAL advice not just “you got this girl!” if possible.
Have any of y’all ever dealt with this and what did you do?

I just start feeling bad b/c he’s going through a lot... idk

Answer

I went through a similar thing. He was my best friend and I was very dependent on him as he was on me. We argued too much though and I knew deep down we'd be better off apart. I did spend quite a few weeks doing things more on my own than I would have liked, but it's been quite a few months now and I recently got into a new relationship. This guy treats me how I always dreamt of being treated and he's seriously the best guy I've ever met. My point being, yes it's hard as hell at first. I won't sugar coat that. I spent many nights crying or wondering if I made the right decision. But the sooner you do it the sooner you find real happiness in a relationship. It's hard but it's worth it.

Hmmmm. This can go so many ways! I️ can easily say MOVE ON. But let’s get to the ROOT of the problem. What is causing these arguments ? Have you tried sitting down with him and discussing how you feel, how he makes you feel and what you want/need out of the relationship? Reason for me saying this is because with my ex we started going down the hill rapidly and I️ wasn’t feeling him like I️ use to due to his clingyness. Long story short I️ called I️t off but after him I’ve dated and honestly I️ haven’t found anything better (until recently my current bf). But my point is sometimes we’re so quick to give up on people when people are a working progress! I️ say try working on things and if it’s the same old, just call it quits but you have to be very careful because a man who cares a lot doesn’t take no for an answer so easily! 
Let me know how I️t goes tho! 
Best of luck girl 💓💓💓

Answer

Maybe you should take a second and think about what’s actually going. If you guys are that in sync why would you want to break up? My fiance and I have had moments like that but we talk and work it out. We’ve actually gotten way healthier at fighting because neither of us let’s the other be disrespectful.

Answer

Ask him to be best friends again? Worth a shot.
