How do you walk away from someone your in love with?

You want to get an education. You want to mature a bit. Love affairs are always a distraction and a lover with whom you fight would be very distracting indeed.

You have every right, and even a duty to your young self, to pursue further education and maturity.

You are doing the right thing, of course. People who really love you will not stand in your way or try to distract you with fights. It bothers me that you feel you must justify this on the grounds that this breakup is doing what's best for her. At your age, in the midst of getting an education, and seeking more maturity, you need to do what's best for you.

I guarantee you she will not see this as in her best interest. So stop trying to tell her you are letting her go for her own good. She'll only continue to argue, cry and protest. It's really patronizing to tell her that old standby, "It's not you--it's me..." Just tell her you need to get on with your life and it is just not working out for you.

You know the saying "if you love them, then let them go"? Ending relationships is hard, but most times, it's for the best. Like you mentioned, You're focusing on school and yourself. It seems like those two things are more important right now, this time in your life. You also said you can't give her what she wants and she deserves better and she's a distraction. It appears, you do know what to do. Just, let her go. And focus on you for a while. That's what you need right now.

Easy. Put one foot in front of the other.

It's annoying when they want to break up and disguise it as "she is better off without me"

It's already the moral thing to do when you are putting yourself first. You don't need more reasons.

I dont.
