It's always hard to break up with someone, especially a romantic partner. However, the longer you stay with someone that you no longer enjoy being with, the longer you will both be unhappy. From my personal experience, the best way to break up is just by simply stating it. Remember that breaking up does not require any reasoning or explanation, it's just doing what's best for you (and likely the other person).

If that's what one wants, it's better not to hide such feelings as the more we wait the more it hurts, but if you are going to tell him, it would be better if it's a real conversation than over text. If we are not comfortable for speaking then we can even write it down and give them, but giving before them is what matters, to stop misunderstandings if any.

You just talk about it with him I guess that's the best way to sort things out and he can be happy with it but if you do anything behind his back he will feel disappointed and there might be some consequences about that talk to him convince him that you don't want to be with him it's good that way.

You can start by destining your self a little. This will help you gain the space and the courage that you need to talk to him honestly about your feelings. Remember, he deserves to know the truth, so be honest :)

Explain why you feel the way you feel. Also think about what his response will be. Try to understanding without changing your mind.

I think honesty is the best policy in this situation. Sit down with your boyfriend and explain that the relationship is not what you want anymore. Perhaps explain specific details and that you do not think it would be healthy to continue on together.

Be honest and just say it flat out. Lies or skirting around the issue will never help or make things better.

Always be honest about your needs and about what it is you really want. If you need a clean break don't leave dangle the chance that you might be able to work it out. Think about what you would want if your partner decided to break it off with you. How would you want them to treat you to make it clear, yet compassionate?

It is difficult but you have to do what is best for both of you. Just be kind, gentle and honest. Let them know that everything will be ok.
