I feel like I should tell my boyfriend I love him even though I absolutely do not.
Why would you lie to your boyfriend about loving him?
Damn, I am too nice for my own good.
When you are in a relationship, it's good to be honest about your feelings. Lying to a significant other isn't acceptable as it can be very hurtful to them. If you don't love your boyfriend, it wouldn't be appropriate to claim that you do since it would lead him to become more invested in the relationship when you aren't actually all that into him.
You are telling me to be very mean. You really think I should tell him that I didn't love him at all?
You don't have to be so direct about it, but I think you should stop letting him believe that you are invested in the relationship. If you don't love him then you should let him find someone who will.
