How do you break up with someone

I know this is a stupid question but I've never had to before.
First serious relationship, 6 years, 2DC.

I just don't want to be with him anymore, the bickering, the walking on eggshells when he's in a mood. It's bringing me down. I can't even really articulate it I just know I don't want this anymore.

So how do I do it? I know he will deny being like this but he is.

Housing isn't an issue I have my own and he has somewhere else to go. I'm hesitant because he'll obviously want shared custody of the children but he really isn't a good dad, especially to our eldest but I'd just have to ride that out for now.

What do I say? ☹️

Have you talked about any of these issues and if so how did it all go ?

In all honesty not really, I think that says enough about the relationship because I don't even have the energy to talk it through with him and wait for things to change. I know I've checked out already.

mary you just rip the plaster off. It’s never going to be easy. Just concentrate on what the future looks like with out him.

How do you think he will react if you just tell him? Will he be reasonable even if upset or angry?
