Ending friends with benefits.

I’ve been booking up with this guy since July. We really only see each other a couple times a month and I’d like to break it off. Since we rarely see each other I want to send I text. I know it’s not the right way to do things but what I’ve done in past situations is just stop texting them. I want to break that cycle and face my fear of disappointing people. How should I do this. Should I lead in slowly and strike up a conversation (keep in mind he takes hours or days to respond to my texts) or just rip the bandaid off?

I just told him. He seems very okay with it and isn’t asking too many questions. I just hope he won’t decide to randomly pop in my texts which will mess with my head

Tell him you have been diagnosed with a rare strain of chlamydia and he should seek treatment too.

Yeah that's a great way to distance yourself from someone. Ummm... you need to go see the Department of Health.
