If you know for sure that she's not the one, stop stringing the poor girl along.

Well, I've tried once before. The first time we called it quits I ended up getting follow up emails and voicemails. She still wanted to be friends. After one week we got back together. It really was the case of the career hungry professionals not comfortable without added convenience.

I think that I need to take a long vacation and leave the country for a little while. I think that will be therapeutic.

Then I'm going to guess, you keep going back for the sex.

Forgive me if I judge to hastily.

But don't be hooked on the physical without the emotional behind it. If you're happy with just that, then yeah, stick with it, but it sounds like you want emotion.

If you do break it off, and she says, hey friends again? then you need to say "Maybe in the future, but now I need space"

And just say no to f*ckbuddies. Get away from her, not closer...

Maybe you shouldn't let random articles/advertisements tell you what to do.

But if you really feel like that...here's some advice from a girl who's been there:

It's going to hurt her either way. But letting her get more and more attached will do nothing good for her. Do her a favor, and stop being a slimeball. She'll find somebody better if you let her go.

There seems to be an assumption that she's really into him -- maybe she thinks this whole relationship is just as lame as he does or maybe she's one of those women who will accept any lame-ass relationship because she's terrified of being alone or her biological clock is ticking, in which case she might get "accidentally" knocked up one of these days!

Personally, I think a relationship of convenience sounds about as exciting as eating ramen every day for the rest of my life, but whether to remain in such a relationship really depends on what you value.

I value the bbq chicken. I also value good language skills, which you have, since you said "what you value" as a verb and not "what your values are" as a noun, which is just stupid.
