Just be direct, brief and honest, Slick. Be a man instead of a manipulative wus of a game-player trying to engineer the situation so she'll break up with you first. That suggestion was especially rich coming from a guy who's always claiming men have relinquished their "manhood." Now I see why he's found that to be true.

If she's upset, that's understandable. You really can't control her feelings or responses. You can only control your own. And if her emotions make you uncomfortable, well, too bad. She's allowed to have them. Just be direct. Once you've laid out your case. . .

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You dont need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You dont need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
That song was written by a rich midget that's been married and divorced several times, once to Carrie Fisher. His current wife, formerly the New Bohemian band's singer Edie Brickell, was young enough to be his daughter.

You'll be giving the girl a break allowing her to bust up with you. We don't pick women as much as they pick us. That's just the way life for a man is. Just do the right thing and let it die as painlessly as possible. Good luck.
