Relationship’s ran its course? Partner doesn’t agree

Hi all,
I’m in such a predicament with my partner and it’s really bringing me down.
We’ve been together nearly six years and we live together (just renting)
In the past year the relationship has definitely got worse.
I’ll be totally honest, I can’t stand him now. There’s always an issue when he comes home, makes a mess of the house, breaks things (which I’m sure he’s doing on purpose) ,leaves everything everywhere, the list goes on.
For context, I sorted getting the house and bought all the furniture. I’m also the main person on the tenancy and everything comes out of my bank.
I’ve spoke to him numerous times about me not feeling the same anymore, that I don’t want the relationship, that we don’t make each-other happy etc. We’ve not been on a date in nearly 2 years!
He always replies ‘well I’m not moving out so good luck’.
My friends & family advice I just leave him with the house and move out. Bare in mind I bought everything in this house? So I can spend 3k on furniture just for him to keep the house and benefit from it all?
Realistically he wouldn’t be able to do that as like I said, everything comes out of my bank.
I’m only in my twenties with no kids, and I know I need to get out as I’ll have a miserable life if I stay with him.

Has anyone had the same issues!l? How did you get out of it? Thankyou

Why would you leave your stuff? Are you in a fixed term period? If so you'll have to wait it out until the end of the fixed term - then give notice and move out with your things.

Give notice on the tenancy. Move out, leave him to it.

If you can afford to, have new accommodation lined up and move straight into it with all your stuff, because he sounds like the kind of arsehole who'd help himself once you declare your hand. Otherwise, put it in storage for a month and stay with friends/parents.

You can't waste any more of your life on this man!

Take your furniture if you move out, speak to your landlord and see how you can get out of the tenancy or maybe if it's ending soon, you can ask to have your soon to be ex taken off the tenancy. Don't just stay with him because of a house you don't even own though

End the tenancy and move out, take all your furniture with you.

he can stay there if he can pay the rent and buy new furniture

alternatively, change the locks while he’s out and leave his shit stuff on the doorstep!

Two good options there!
