I (31F) have been reflecting a ton the last couple of years, and have been coming to the realization that I’m not happy in my current relationship. I’ve discussed issues with my boyfriend (31M) many times, and just often feel like it’s never taken seriously or fully understood. I “broke up” with him late December last year, we both went home for the holidays, and since then I’ve tried to give our relationship another opportunity but I feel completely different. My heart is not in it at all. I don’t want to play the blame game either, so I’ll just leave it at that.
I’ve made plans to move back home at the end of the month, but I need to have that final (and firm) conversation with him, especially since we do live together. Any advice??? My heart breaks for him, but I’m so unhappy 🙁
TLDR need advice on ending a long-term relationship

Just be honest, that’s the best advice.
You wasted your 20s. Don’t waste your 30s. My guess is 23 year olds aren’t the best at picking life partners. You have moved on and want to go in different directions. No hard feelings. Just a chance to both find something better.
Make your plans first. Then break the news with a move out date.
Honesty is the best policy. Just tell him how you feel
