Yup, I agree with Kloudiia on this one. The typical guy advice is don't tell, and that gets rationalized with all the "you're making yourself feel better and her feel worse" stuff.

That kind of advice is practical in the very short run, but not at all in the medium to long term. More important still, it's the wrong thing to do. Period. Wrong for you, wrong for her.

This is one of those times where, as much as it sucks (and it will suck), you have to man up and be honest. Don't avoid the conflict. You'll be a better person and a better partner for it, with this girl or someone else.
