If you're not happy while being in a relationship, you do make your partner unhappy too without really aiming for it. Therefore, you could say that he deserves a healthier relationship with someone who will appreciate and love him and that you just don't feel like you're the right one for him anymore. In my opinion it's necessary that you don't let him feel like he did something wrong, if he was all nice and sweet to you. Making him clear that both of you deserve a happy ending could help you breaking up without breaking his heart. I said "could" because based on my personal experience he will be heartbroken anyway, because boys have their ego... Anyway, ending relationships is a normal thing and you shouldn't feel bad about it as it's your right to be happy too. The key is to end things without hurting someone deeply.

You have to organise your thoughts. Start with asking yourself 'why' and then proceed and maybe write down the reasons you want to break up and frame it in a really nice way so that you avoid hurting him more.

If your boyfriend loves you, I don't think there's a way for you to make the process pain-free. However, personally, this is how I would like to be broken up with:- 1. I would like them to be honest with me and not sugar coat things to such an extent that I don't even get the reason why they are breaking up with me. 2. I would like to be given time to heal myself and not forced to be friends with them immediately. The time could be a week or two months. 3. I wouldn't want them to discuss our break up with people behind my back, especially before actually breaking up with me. The best person you can approach about relationships is the person you are in a relationship with. Nobody pours your cereal. 4. I wouldn't want them to be rude if my reactions are overwhelmingly sad. Being straightforward yet polite, and giving them time are the MOST crucial things. Apart from these points, you should do what your heart thinks right! Cheers. :)

Gently explain what made you take that decision; explain the feelings you had, or lack of feelings, maybe, that led you to this point in the relationship. It definitely won't be easy, but delaying it will just hurt him more in the long run

you can be honest and clear about your decision. tell him how you feel about your relationship now and ask for a break. without confusing him, or blaming him you can tell that you need a break.

First of all are you sure you wan to leave him? You can't exactly tell him directly, try to leave hints and signs that you are not happy and if you feel that nothing is working talk to him, sit him down and try to day things little by little but ofcourse try to make your message clear. I know its not easy but nothing in life is easy so you have to learn to push yourself.

"Your happiness is my happiness too, I don't want you to feel lost and I don't want you to think that my love isn't enough. I love you so much I'm willing to let you go."

Just tell him that. Suppressing your self by being with him more time without wanting it, is very bad for you. If you are no fit together things are simple. He will find an other who fits more with him. You don't have to worry about it but about your life that is very worthy. He also can take care of his life.

First of all you need to have a valid reason. Tell him in person not over he phone or text, to do it person shows you aren’t scared to tell the truth. Be as nice as you as you can, don’t provoke an arguement.

Be up front and honest with him. Speak how you feel, why you wish to end it, but don't go at it aggressively, be easy on him.
