Relationship advice

Long story short, I need to break up with my boyfriend for reasons that are too much to explain, basically comes down to my ptsd, anxiety and severe insecurities. He's a great guy but I just can't continue, it's so exhausting...

I don't know how to explain this to him and make it clear that I love him deeply but it's just too much for me mentally and he deserves better than me.

Please help.

Maybe this is sooo cheesy and common. But the whole “it’s not you, it’s me” way might be the way to go in your situation? Just be honest with him, tell him that right now you’re going through blah and blah, and that right now you just need time for yourself and blah and blah. Tell him how you feel, maybe spare any blameful explanations as to why…Hopefully he understands! Good luck babes

Just tell him you need to work on yourself.

How do I do this? Text seems so impersonal and I'm terrified to speak the words on the phone or to his face.

Self esteem. I am not conventionally attractive and have a lot flaws. I can't see past them, so I can't believe anyone else could and really love me for me.

As in self esteem or good enough to be a partner and communicate?

Tell him you have to work on yourself first, and it’s nothing he did (unless that’s not true).

If you think being alone will lower your ptsd, anxiety, and insecurities then I’d just be honest and tell him that. I’d give him a more in-depth explanation for closer, but that’s the route I’d take.
