I know the title seems harsh but has anyone got any experience of ditching the other half.
Me and the current girlfriend have been together for about 18 months and we both want different things. She wants kids and I'm not interested as I already have 2 boys who are aged 11 and 12.
We`ve had the discussion and both fully understand that the future doesn't look bright. Are we both just to scared to end it and holding onto false hope?
HELP!!!!!!

here's the manual.
Just send her the link to this thread.
Then go and join the French Foreign Legion, to..... erm..... what was it again?
You just slip out the back, Jack
If you want different things and are unable to reach a compromise, it suggests that you don't have much of a future. Sorry.
Just send her the link to this thread
Binners sort of has it. You can't ditch her you have to make her ditch you. Everyone knows that. Does she have a sister you can send an inappropriate picture to?
Make a new plan Stan
Just get on the bus, Gus.
You don't need to discuss much.
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Tell her you prefer goolies, Mooly.
Wait 'til it's blowing a hoolie, Mooly.

It's not you, it's me....
"Stand up all those ladies with a partner...not so fast, missus".
I've been there a twice, not a pleasant thing to go through at all but I've not looked back since.
Hoof her in the slats, stan.
That must be in the live CD....

No need to do it so cruelly.

As with so many situations in life, you just have to ask yourself.... [url= http://blog.sfgate.com/dailydish/2013/08/06/phil-collins-fax-divorce-was-a-lesson-for-daughter-lily/ ]what would Phil Collins do?[/url]
Grow some cojones, Gomez. T'aint right? Take flight, Dwight. Tell her straight, m8.
Text, Tex
what would Phil Collins do?
Organise a come back tour and a re-release a Greatest Hits album?
Have another kid, Sid.
Used to go to school with Phil Collins' nephew... he was called Phil Collins.
Couldn't drum for toffee but always won best fancy dress.
Date her mate Julie, Mooly
Get yourself on Tinder, Govinder.
Find a new one on Grindr, Minder
Was in a similar situation 18 months ago. Had been seeing my ex for 4years and living together for one. She wanted to spend weekend having cocktails with the girls on a Friday, then spend the rest of weekend in pj's. I wanted to go sailing/cycling/camping/climbing/surfing/touring - generally getting out of town for the weekend and having mini adventures and enjoying whisky on mountain tops & anchorages...
As we both realised we were going in different directions, the break up was very amicable - she continued popping over for dinner now & again etc.
I've since upgraded to someone who has a more voracious appetite for doing stuff with her weekends than me and far more compatable life ambitions. We've been going out for nearly a year now, best decision eva! (Also the couple of months on Tinder was great fun too, if you know whatbi mean!)
Don't treat her cruelly, Mooly.

playing both sides of the field to increase your odds eh.
**** her dad, Brad.
Start peeing in the sink, but leave the door open to see
Have a vasectomy, tommy
if you know whatbi mean!
you really did go in a different direction there then!
Just be blunt, you ****
I think the writing is on the wall and we both know what is coming is going to be fairly difficult to deal with. We have a wedding to go to this weekend and will no doubt get smashed and the it'll be all over.
I know we've mostly made light of the situation but like a plaster, just make it quick. From what I can gather, it won't be a shock.
Time to go hiking, dressed as a viking.
Sounds like you need to say something. Wanting/not wanting more kids is fairly fundamental, and not to put too fine a point on it, she's wasting her time with you if she wants kids.
I think if the kids were yours together then it might be a bit less clear cut, but if you're sure about not wanting more kids, and she's sure about wanting some of her own, there's no winning.
Obviously keep meeting up for casual sex.
Lay a new patio, Mattio

Enjoy the wedding, try not to be that couple that are breaking up at the wedding, I'm sure she and you are still both nice people.
However bad it will feel, it's over quickly, in the grand scheme of things.
Just think forward 6 months - one version with you're increasingly desperate to get out, and feeling increasing awful about not having done it yet.
And the other version where you had the conversation 6 months ago, it's all under the bridge, you're friendly and talking/you've not seen her for ages (delete as appropriate) and you're both getting on with your lives.
Best solution, time machine!
Leave how you arrived, by the back door.
Just grasp the nettle and do it, a few weeks down the line you'll both have moved on and you'll feel all the better for it!
What would the feminists say? "take control of your own body". Get a vasectomy if you're that sure about not wanting more kids. Then either keep it a secret and enjoy trying to make babies or (my preference) tell her and let her make the next move.
So, go for the snip, Rip.
You just need to leave, Steve.
**** her up the bum,chum! (See you all next week :oops:)
This really does not seem hard you both appear to be on the same page in terms of agreeing it is not working . So mtfu broach the subject shake hands and move on . Or carry on playing about till you really hate and hurt each other.
Tell her what you told us. Its time to move on.
Love the Paul Simon references and ad-libs
Buy another bike, Mike
A mate has just ditched her fella by text message. Except it wasn't by text, it was by Facebook status. (It's still going on now, like watching a car crash In super slow mo, disturbing, yet compelling. Glorious)
As a colleague put it, 'there's nothing like being humiliated in front of everyone you know to help get over the upset of your relationship ending'
18 months? Just walk errrrmmm errr...

I was in a long term that I stayed in way past its sell by date fora variety of reasons. Manned up, told her it wasn't working and it was over. Best thing I did.
Don't waste her time, more importantly don't waste yours!
Comedy gold again, sorry cant think of one I m in the supermkt queue and cant stop laughing
All must be a lot clearer now 🙂
Stick it in her mother, or brother.
We have a wedding to go to this weekend and will no doubt get smashed and the it'll be all over.
Dump her as they wed, Ned.
Got to report, sport.
EDIT: Too late 🙂
Thought so as I typed it, Brett.
(Needs Kiwi accent!
Wow, good tips there lads. Must have been at least 49 ways to leave your lover
You will become number 2, you fool.
Think with your head.
Not that head.
If you love each other, you'll both talk and work it out.
Tell her to jog on, Yvonne.

Mork.
You're welcome. 🙂
Me leaving is like giving someone the gift of freedom. Remove their shackles and watch them flourish.
Let them blossom, possum.
Ok, it's been 24hrs. Have you chucked her, Gupta?
Have you binned her, Tjinder?
Tell her after fellatio, Horatio.
Do it over the phone, Ramone.
