While this may be a tough subject, if you've reached a point where you're no longer feeling it, know that it's better for both of you if the relationship doesn't continue. Talk to him, communication is the most important part of anything. Listen to what he has to say and know that you're feelings are alright. It will be hard, but if you feel this is the best option, trust your heart and let him know too. It's better to be honest with him so he has a chance to heal and move forward.

Honest and direct reasoning goes long way to end or start anything. It can be communicated peacfully and amicably.

Talk to him in a calm and respectful (for both of you) manner, as much as possible. And preferably alone, unless you think he might react violently or agressively.

Tell him the absolute truth! Don't just say, "We need to break up," no. Just say, "We need to talk. I think we should break up because ________" Honestly will make it better. No, breakups are NEVER easy but trust me, honesty is key with anything.

Ultimately a relationship has to work for both parties. By staying with someone when you don't want to, you're just saving up trouble for later on. It's worth making time having an open and honest conversation with them, in a safe and controlled environment, to talk about how the relationship is going, and where you see the future. If you do feel like you don't want to be in the relationship, you could explain that you're feeling like you don't have much of a future. Perhaps they're feeling the same way, perhaps they'll work harder at the relationship.

Honesty is always the best policy even if that is a cliche. You should both meet in person as something like this should never be done over text. Sit him down and explain to him your feelings, if he cares about you he will understand.

If you feel safe doing so, I would recommend doing it face to face. Try to be open and honest with him to the extent that you feel comfortable, and try to set a non-argumentative tone.

In my experience, brutal honesty is the best policy. Be gentle of course, because someone else's feelings are in your hands, but be honest and upfront about how you feel.
