A girl asked me out a couple of months ago, I liked her at the time so I said yes. But the more time I spent with her made me realise that I'm not compatible with her, she thinks I still like her, and if I tell her the truth, she might commit suicide. And if I break up with her, I have her violent family to deal with. But I think she needs to know the truth. What do I do?

You should be upfront with her without being unkind though, if shes a nice person then you should be able to say you'd like to be friends and mean it. I know it can be difficult and i've been exactly where you've been before (minus the family), and its difficult but needs to be done. I hope it all works out alright for you

It's kind of you to consider her feelings, but you also need to make sure that you are happy in the relationship. Let her down in a nice way, but if she threatens suicide you should remain firm in your decision to break up. Threatening suicide is a form of manipulation.

As for her family, if you break up with her you probably won't have to deal with them unless they stalk you or something. In that case, call the police and ask for protection.

i agree. its sweet to consider her but you need to be honest with yourself. you are unhappy. break it to her gently. you guys can still be friends, and you can still be there for her.

The more you lie to yourself, the more it's real.
