What's the best torture you can think of that DOESNT involve pain?

Tell them you love them. Ask him to go out together with your friends. Tell him funny jokes only you two will get. Take him to special places only you know about. Go on a hiking trip, to resort, to a museum on a school day. Make him believe you are special. Make plans with him about living together, about the stuff you'd need moving in, the places youd go see. And when he fucks up, tell him its okay. You're here. Get him to bring his walls down. Remove any doubt hes had due to his past relationships. Then when he starts to give imported gifts using his measely school allowance, when he makes sure you get a good night chat every night no matter how tired he is, cut him off. Make him worry about your depression. Make sure hes anxious all the time by being distant, reminding him of the time you almost gave up on yourself and he couldn't do shit. He starts to change for you, put in a whole lot more effort. And when he begs for you to stay, you stay. You make him believe that you saved him. That you need him. Tell him you love him.

Then the week before your anniversary, get into a fight. Then you meet up with a guy on grindr and you tell him about it. Tell him its not working out anymore because he's just so worried all the time now. You tell him people are genuinely selfish. You tell him you only kept him because you wanted to prove to yourself that you can last in long term relationship. Don't tell him you love him.
