Handhold and advice needed; how to tell partner you want to separate/ divorce

Hi everyone

So after much thinking, lurking and dwelling, I want a divorce
My partner hasn't done anything wrong, is good-looking and nice but I have grown apart from him and after trying to work things out, and even though he's trying, the love just isn't there anymore.
I dont want to try counselling, he won't anyway ad I have asked before and well, I want to do it in a way that's going to cause as little hurt and confusion as possible. I obviously know hearing from your wife that she wants to leave is going to be immensely painful, but I want to be able to word it and say it in a clear, concise and open way.
I have dyslexia and I find speaking VERY difficult, I have trouble forming what I want to say from my head to my mouth and it sounds silly, but, if I can make a script somehow and use that to guide me it'll help so much.
I love him as a person, he's cool, but I need to go my own way. I'm just not happy with him and I know he can find someone much more compatible than me, he is super Intelligent and well, im an artsy type who seems can't string a sentence together half the time.
I know he knows something is up, this morning he asked me why I don't love him and I asked him why he thought that. I feel cruel leaving him in limbo so I need to do something soon.

Thanks
