text: how do u break up with some one that was ur best  friend and u still want 2 be there friend? wat im i supposed 2 say 2 him? wat am i supposed 2 do i don't want 2 hurt there feelings? and u stiil want 2 be there friend don't feel bad.  just tell him that you feel that you are not working as a couple but would like to remain friends and try to keep the friendship that you had before.  it sounds easier said than done, i know.  but believe me, i've done this and things between me and my best friend are the same now as they were before we got together.  good luck!
