Reply To: Ending an engagement

Probably what’s the right thing is to not volunteer it, but tell the truth if he suspects it and asks. You owe him the truth in that case. But again, especially if this was an ongoing thing and not just a one-off, and you don’t tell him, then really be sure this is a breakup. If you were to decide to try again with him for some reason after breaking up, I think you would need to tell him at that point so that he can make an informed decision.
