If a man is looking for a break-up and wants her to leave, I think this is one way:

- Do a fake marriage proposal prank (then laugh and say it's just a prank) or after 2+ years together tell her ''you're a great girlfriend but you're not wife material''

- Tell her you were just with her for other reasons and that she was never that physically attractive, that in fact she was kind of plain looking and that he just had sex out of pity.

I can't think of a woman that wouldn't be crushed. I've seen several stories about women that pretend to agree with the guy on just living together but secretly wished they were proposed; they are hurting on the inside. Then mocking her on the physical features, our main market value... she's leaving for sure.

Wouldn't doing that to a woman be similar to insulting a man's strength, calling him small, making pranks about him being sissy or mocking his ability as a provider?

Same as no man wants to be seen as weak and getting denied as a provider, no woman wants to be perceived as ugly and getting denied as a wife. Is that the equivalent?
