Is it because he won't pick up his socks? Is this a new or long-term relationship? Are you angry and want to hurt him? The reason why will help you decide which of the following scenarios fits your situation the best.Also, keep in mind that these ideas are only that: ideas. You can change them to suit your circumstances or use them as inspiration to craft your own cunningly constructed messages.

- Be certain you're safe before attempting to break up with an obsessive boyfriend. He might get angry and decide to come after you.
- Try and be kind, regardless of what happened in your relationship. It will make getting over him much easier if you have no regrets.
- Don't try these ideas if you are underage, as they could have far-reaching consequences that you aren't prepared to handle.
