Dear Massi, Please help me quickly. My girlfriend is expecting a proposal today.

Actually I want to break up with her but I can't do that today as it's Valentine's Day and that would be really cruel.

What's the best thing to do?

I was going to cancel our date and pretend I'm ill.

Please help.

Massi says, Rather than running away from your problem, confront it.

If you want to break up with your girlfriend, then tell her directly.

Pretending you are unwell is not the solution.

You clearly have acutely different perspectives about your relationship.

Explain to her kindly that you see no future in your relationship.
