So I moved to NY from CA for grad school and brought along my girlfriend who pretty much hates it here. She has no career options here and is homesick, but is sticking through it because she is crazy in love with me.
We have been together for almost 8 years. But I don't think I share the same feelings as her, and I still think I have feelings for somebody I met 2 years ago (in California).
Whats the nicest way to break up with someone like this in my position, I know it is going to absolutely devastate her, I am pretty much her whole world here in NY, as she doesn't really know anyone here other than her co-workers. if we broke up, she would likely move back to CA.
bumoooo
Wow. Why do you let her tag along and leave her lofe behibd to be with you if you don't see a future with her? You are a real fucking piece of shit and you know that full well. That said, tell her asap and then you WILL not blame this crap on her whatsoever and will do anything to help her get back home and get her life back. My god, anon...

Have you guys talked about it? What happened during the talks?
Me being a piece of shit aside, what would be the best way to start this convo. So no, I have not had this conversation yet. I know what is the right thing to do, but just not the best way to go about it.
I still love my girlfriend, but I am just not on the same page as her.

What does that even mean? She just spent 8 (of her best) years on you, rightfully hoping this to move on to what i assume she is expecting out of it (marriage, kids). You don't want that, right? So you led her on. And not i'n a "oopsie daisie" way...
Yoi even seem to think you are still oh so innocente. "i still love her". Don't even dare to tell her shit like that. You know damn well it's not true.
You go to her right now and tell her that you need to talk to her and then you tell her the truth. All of it. Even the stuff that doesn't make you look like you are just a poor victim of your "emotions". That's the least you can do...

Sit her down and just say what's on your mind. It's been eight years, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Though, the fact that you want to drop her for literal who from two years ago when it seems she sacrificed a lot for you is pretty telling of it. I'm in agreement with this anon >>17526231
since it seems you're going to break up.
