Sit him down, and in a polite buy honest way, explain how you're feeling and that it's best to end the relationship. It's important to remember to stay honest, and not to feel guilty for your feeling. Your boyfriend may get upset, cry, or beg you to reconsider. While it is ultimately your decision, remember that it is unfair to both of you to maintain a relationship that you do not want to be in, even if your boyfriend does.

Although its hard, it is always best to break up with someone in person. The best advice I have is to be honest. Talk through the reasons calmly and nicely, as he will probably be upset.

You just have to be honest and say so. It would also be fair and beneficial to give your reasons though. Telling someone this is never easy, but if you believe that it's something that has to be done, it's all about building up the courage now. Usually, you would feel scared to say it, but that fear is your fear of how the other person will react. That, however, is something out of your control. Your goal is to just let him know how you feel.

I have to be honest with him and with myself and not to lie to him anymore. I need to tell him nicely that it is mostly about me, and not about him and to ask for forgiveness and permission to just move on.

Sit down with him and discuss why you dont want to be with him. Do not let him over power you emotionally and stand by your points. Make sure that you are cautious with your wording so that you do not hurt his feelings. Be honest with him.

First, I would suggest talking to him. Find out where problems in your relationship lie, then try and compensate on a solution. Second, see how things go from there. Yet, if you can't come to one and/or you've already talked and it's not working out, then I would still suggest to talk to him. However, this time it has to have more of a substantial reasoning behind it (if I was to be broken up with, I would want substantial reasons as to why this breakup is happening). I would give all the facts and reasoning behind my decision and say that it was my final choice. I would try and make it more on peaceful terms than aggressive/negative ones.

Explain that you care for his feelings so you are letting him know that it is time for both of you to go separate ways for what ever the reasons may be. You do not feel the same as your once did about him and that is okay. Things fall apart sometimes.

Do not tell abruptly. A kind closure would be nice. Make it formal and tell him it in a sympathetic manner. But do not be harsh on words. Let him know you still care and that the relationship is getting dry.

Be honest with him. I know that it's easier said than done, but he deserves that. Think about how you'd like to be treated if you were in his situation.
