Honestly speaking, it really is better to be honest about it. She's probably strong enough to take it and not fall apart, even if it will hurt; after all, you aren't the sum total of her universe. So, I think you're doing the right thing. By telling her the truth, you're treating her with dignity and respect. I have always thought that it is better to have an amicable split based on honesty than to have a relationship crash and burn because the couple has stayed in it out of convenience rather than genuine commitment; that's the kind of thing that leads to the pain of infidelity, emotional abuse, and other such things. Imagine how much time you guys have already lost being with each other; that time could have been spent on someone you each cherished and who cherished you in return. Hang in there!
