I wanna break up but on good terms. I don’t wanna hurt his feelings but I think I just wanna focus on myself and figuring out who I am. Every time I talk to him about it I feels he brushes off the way that I feel. I don’t want him to come home one day and all my things are gone. I just want to do things the right way like maybe we just both need grow a little you know.

It's not wrong to want to break up in order to focus on yourself and your personal growth. It's important to prioritize your own well-being and pursue your own goals and aspirations.
When it comes to communicating this to your partner, it's important to be honest and clear about your feelings. You can say something like, "I care about you and our relationship, but I feel like I need to focus on myself and my personal growth right now. I don't want to hurt you, but I think it's best if we take some time apart to work on ourselves."
It's important to emphasize that the decision to break up is not a reflection of your partner's worth or value, but rather a personal decision for your own growth and well-being. It's also important to listen to your partner's perspective and feelings, and to have an open and respectful dialogue about the situation.
Breaking up on good terms requires clear communication, mutual respect, and a willingness to work together to ensure a positive outcome. It's important to approach the situation with kindness and empathy, while also prioritizing your own needs and goals.

I can definitely see why you would want to do this. I think you're on the right track by explaining it to him. It sounds like he isn't listening or accepting it right now. You'll probably have to explain it a few more times. There were relationships that I've been in that I felt kept me from growing as a person. Breaking up was a GOOD thing.
Do it right. Sit him down and be honest and be hopeful you both can be friends. I recently split up with a man in a LDR I had for 4 years and I didn't do things perhaps properly. And now we are really estranged and practically strangers. Don't make my mistake yours.
lol men usually take it personal regardless. Might as well just dump him

You can say that you "want to focus on yourself", but I would not believe this standard phrase. At least it implies that you currently do not already have a new candidate as your boyfriend and that's a bit reassuring.
There is no nice way to break up. Be woman about it and get it done!I'd say it straight up, I'm not a sensitive person tho, you should just say it the nicest way possible, cause the truth is there's no easy way to break up, just speak the truth and use the best words for it and best of luck finding yourself. 💯🙏
There is no other way to say it. I have some issues and I need to fix them. I'm breaking up with you. It happened to me. Didn't make sense but I'm glad I did got a great gal that I'm with now.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be 100% (or as close to 100%) comfortable with yourself before being in a relationship or continuing with a relationship. However, if you really do care about your soon-to-be ex-significant other, make sure that working on yourself is really what you're truly doing and you don't immediately find yourself with another person. Otherwise it's just going to look like that the only thing that you really wanted to work on is getting yourself worked. 😂
Yes I do think there is need for us to give ourselves space and reinvent, rejuvenate and restore ourselves
What nonsense is this? I want to breakup but don't want to hurt his feelings. ? Are you fucking dumb?
