Assuming that you've already done some serious thinking on your part and have already determined that this relationship is not for you, it's IMPORTANT to let him understand your stand and be FRANK and HONEST with him about how you feel and how you view this relationship...
But BEFORE you do all this, please be REMINDED once again to be CERTAIN of your decision... Why were you with him in the 1st place? Has the relationship already lost its value? Is there anyway to recover things? Would you regret upon your decision..? And finally, UNDERSTAND that you are most probably not gonna meet your MR PERFECT in the future?
How old are you by the way?

Is you find that settling down (or being tied down) is not for you and you wish to have more relationships or to enjoy your freedom and life more try to (1)reach a BALANCE if you find that there're valid reason(s) that you should hold on to the relationship, (2)make a CLEAN CLEAR break by understanding the price of it and the pain you're gonna cause (but if you're thinking of the FURTHER PAIN the relationship might bring the two of you, in a sense, I can AGREE with you..), (3) FLASH RED LIGHT by declaring your stand to him if you're uncertain or find that there's a chance the relationship should or might continue...
In (1), try to make negotiation with him to allow you MORE FREEDOM and perhaps make him participate more widely in your life so that he can share it or be a more sociable person? See if he can accept such changes (or at least he try?) and make him learn to appreciate your life and in another sense, understands and appreciates you even more..? If proven to be invalid method, you might wanna consider (2) or (3)?
In (2), if you're CERTAIN in your DECISION. Be FIRM and let him UNDERSTAND the whole picture. But try NOT to drag the situation by thinking about how would he feels and possibility of turning back thing? Make things CLEAR to him... BREAK OFF... Can listen to his side of the story just to let him relieve himself and get the burden off.. But before you agree to listen to his story, make him understand that there won't be turning back... The 'story-telling' thing is not a CHANCE for him to return...
In (3), make him UNDERSTAND your stand and how things might turn out to be if going for the WORSE. At this point, please note that you might be putting yourself in a vulnerable position? Be careful.... Try to calm him down and let him make MINOR CHANGES and take things easily(?).... Try NOT to accept if he's making DRASTIC CHANGES for you... It's won't last... It most probably won't work too... Probably out of desperation...
Last words... If you've DECIDED that it's a CLEAR BREAK, don't DRAG... Don't TOY with his feelings... If you do, you're putting him into further misery and yourself into TROUBLE...?
Good luck to BOTH of you..?[/B][/QUOTE]
