What's the best thing(s) to say, how to put it, what has worked for you?

There is never an easy way to do this. Just be honest and tell him. Whatever you do, don't put it off. Just do it.

Honesty is always the best policy. Ask your partner to have dinner with you in a nice place....protection against an outburst...and have a talk with him/her. "Look, I wanted this to be a nice night out because it's going to be our last night out. I'm not comfortable with the way things are turning out. I don't want you to feel responsible, however, I know that I can't go on wasting your time. This is not good for me right now."....just be sure to make the object of the conversation "you"...."I am"..."I feel"...not accusing the partner of anything. The do what you say you're going to do. Leave. You really will be doing the person a favor. Godloveya.

This is not going anywhere blah, blah, blah, I'm not happy blah, blah, blah.
He probably already knows not everything is right so just get on with it - like ripping a plaster off quickly, it still hurts like hell but it is over quicker.
And frankly, if you have asked a load of strange people on the net how you should do it you probably already know what will be best for you.
Good luck and I hope you find the right person soon.

Like they've all said before, honesty! You never know, if your relationship is not all as it should be he maybe thinking the same thing and might be glad that you have initiated the end.
Good luck though, it's never easy.

seem off 4 a while then tell them u need to talk then ask them if they think you know why they u want to talk den take it from there go with your instincsts.
dont forget to leave them 4 a while after the break up to give them some time to think.

Honesty is the way to do it, don't pussyfoot around, but dont be nasty either! Whatever you do dont go using the classic lines such as "it's not you, it's me" cos they are just crap and will make them feel worse (even though most girls think its a good idea, its not!).

I dont want to go out with u anymore. I dont feel the same way I use to. I dont think its fair to stay together the way I feel and end up hating each other. I am sorry. I wish u only the best. and can only hope u will respect my decision n not hate me.

there's no easy way doll....i just recently ended a 10 year relationship....i was very unhappy but i could not go on any longer with him because i was getting irritated and it would have caused us to fall out, we are friends but the love has gone...you just have to sit down with him and tell him how you feel, tell him whats on your mind and the reason why you want to finish it....be gentle with him and don't blame him for anything, just tell him how YOU feel and why you want to finish...if you are unhappy honey, then you have to do it....like i said...it's not easy...but once it's done then you'll feel 100% better....do it today and get it over with

You need to be completely honest with the person. Tell them the exact reasons that you are breaking up with them. They may not like it, but the truth shall set you free! Good Luck!

Tell him that he's a great guy but you just don't feel the same about him anymore. You've had a great relationship and you don't have any regrets. If that fails you could always say you've decided to become a lesbian.
