If you want my honest opinion; you have to have to talk to that person about it. Yes, it may hurt them, but it’s better to let them know than you lead them on. But if you really love that person, don’t lose what you’ve had with them. Just take your time with it. But if you’re being hurt, it’s not exactly the right way to continue a relationship. If you’re being hurt from this relationship, how long will you last till you finally break? I know it’s going to be tough for the both of you and for your friends too, but it’s your decision. You can either continue with the heartache, or be free. Most likely if you’re even thinking about breaking it up, then that’s most likely what you want, psychologically. I just don’t want anyone to get hurt. Well, I hope this helped you :)
