Leaving when living together

So I’ve been with my partner for 4-5 years we live together. I want to break up. It’s his place and he’s not abusive. I’m just trying to work out the practicalities. Any tips?
I’m trying to find a new place. I feel bad about not just saying but then it’ll be so awkward and I don’t have a place to go.

All you can do is find your own place as quickly as possible and then end it.

I can’t seem to edit. I also meant to mention the time of the year. Is it shitty to end things before Christmas and New Year? Should I wait until after?

Dont just stick with him for the sake of Christmas and new year its mean to string it out further
Unless you think there is any hope at all that you could sort it out
Save him the money on gifts!

Tell him as soon as you can its just not fair to stick around because its convenient

He's a grown man. He doesn't need a hand hold to get through Christmas. Get out as soon as possible and end this charade.

My last partner and I decided to break up, it took him around 4 weeks to find a new place to move into.

It was pretty awkward but I think I preferred knowing it was coming, rather than him just leaving one day.
