How do I tell my boyfriend that I don't want to be with him? (anymore)

Honestly is the key. If you feel like you're in a safe place and comfortable, be honest with him about the reasons you aren't interested any more, and remember that if you've made this decision and you're serious about it, you can't turn back on it when someone tries to convince you otherwise. It's much more selfish to lie to someone to make them feel better, than to let them be free because you know you don't want to hold them down.

Be honest, you don't need to hide your feelings or emotions. Ask him to listen to your point of view and explain you don't feel this relationship it's good for you anymore.

Let him know in person. It is much better than over the phone. Just break the question to him and tell him it isn't working anymore.

People don't usually take break ups well. So you should say it lightly, tell him why you don't want to be with him simply, but not in a rude way. Let him down lightly and tell him you want to break up

Be kind about it, but be clear that it's over so that he doesn't nourish any false hopes. Don't answer questions like "what can I do?" or succumb to statements like "I will change". There is a reason you want out of this relationship. If you're afraid for your safety, do it in a public place and have someone nearby just in case.

I think you should be kind, but honest. Tell him you don't feel the same way, and that there's nothing he can do about it. That you don't have the control of your emotions, and that you don't know what happened, because you loved him really much at the beggining, but now it's not clear anymore.

I tell him that we should just be friends as it isn't working out too well anymore. I then explain why to him and see if he agrees.

You tell him in person. Whatever you do, do not break up over the phone. A gentle break -up happens with gentle and understanding words. You tell him why gently and just be honest to yourself and to him.

This is a very complex question. But probably the best method would be in person, and try to calmly explain what it is that has changed in your life and why you feel that it would be best if you moved on.
