My girlfriend and I have been dating for over a year.

However, I no longer love her. She is boring, vapid, and hardly pretty. Her only redeeming quality is the ability to do what she is told diligently by authority.

However, I still care for her very much. It seems impossible for me to bring this up and hurt her. And yet it seems the only escape is a break up. I don't know what to do. I would be so lonely without her. (Not to mention sex-deprived.)

This paradox makes it so that often, the very sight of her brings pain to me. Of course there are sometimes good days, when I can deal with her and be happy. But then more and more, I just feel depressed whenever I deal with her because she is just so disappointing.
