Have a sit-down honest conversation with him explaining how you feel and what led you to thinking that you wouldn't like to be in a relationship with him anymore. Being honest with him and yourself will make you feel so much better about the situation. Best of luck :)

Breakups are usually difficult -- there is no way around the feeling that come with rejection. However, knowing this is half the battle. Reasons and explanations are less important than compassion. Just say what you need to: "I think we should stop seeing each other," or "I'm sorry, I need to end this relationship." If they really want to talk about it, try to be honest and succinct. Excuses or tropes ("it's not you, it's me") are probably good to avoid. Look, if you don't want to be with someone, you are doing them a disservice by staying with them and prolonging the relationship. More time in a relationship = a harder breakup. Bite the bullet, pick a meeting place, and let them know your decision.

"I don't want to be with you anymore because *insert your reason*. It's that simple. Don't do things you don't want to do. If you don't want to be with him, don't let him be under the illusion that you do. Stop wasting both your and his time. Say what you feel and move on. He'll hopefully understand.

To tell him that you are sorry but you feel like things are not going to work out between you guys and you feel that it would be best to move your separate ways

Be honest, sometimes we have to allow ourselves happiness by letting go of those who do not keep us happy. Do not fret, do what is best for yourself first. There is no shame in wanting a change.

In my opinion, honesty is the best option. It communicates a level of respect and genuinity. What is it that worries you about telling him?

Simply be honest. There isn't many ways to do this and no need to over think it. Its always better to do it in person. Explain why you want to end it and except your boyfriend to understand. Break ups are part of life.

Honestly. The truth needs to be clear so there are no misunderstandings and needless drama. Tell him in person that you don't want to be with him and get it over with.

Ask to meet up and tell him kindly. You don't need to have a raging fight, you can just break up on good terms. This will save time for both of you.
