How to breakup nicely?

Anonymous
I’ve realized I have way too much going to be in the relationship I’m in right now. I’ve been thinking on it for a bit now, but haven’t done it yet because I keep going back and fourth with what I want
Worst part, is I was about to breakup with him this weekend but our anniversary is a week away…. I didn’t realize until he brought it up.
What’s the least horrible way to handle this?
Breaking up a week before it is cruel, but breaking up right after is still pretty cruel too 🙁 I feel awful, help?
