Is it normal to be scared to break up with someone?

I'm so afraid of breaking up with my boyfriend. Not that I think he'll get violent or anything. I'm just afraid of his reaction afterwards. I'm afraid to see his face and hear his voice. I can't handle the pain knowing I'll cause the pain he'll feel.

    He'll feel even more pain the longer you lead him on. True story. Get it over with already, so he can move on sooner.

    It's difficult hurting someone you care about. But if you think your reasons for breaking up with him are justified, then you must go through with it.

    It's just like ripping off a band-aid. It's going to smart, but you have to do it.
