Re: Breaking up help :(

Don't try and make it OK, that'll be more about your own guilt and break-ups are sucky and people don't have to be OK about them.

+1

Unless he's already completely checked out of the relationship himself (which you - OP - probably would have picked up on if he had, assuming that's not the very reason you want to break up with him), he's going to be upset about the break-up and there's nothing to be done about that.

I don't know the reasons for you wanting to end the relationship, OP, but whatever the case, it's best not to try to make either of you into a villain and to emphasize instead that there's nothing wrong with either of you* but it just isn't working out anymore. Don't tell him you're awful and he's better off without you because that makes it sound like he has bad taste. I had an ex-boyfriend who followed this tactic thinking it would make me feel better and instead it crushed my self-esteem and kept me from trying to form any new relationships for a while because I felt I couldn't trust my judgement.

*If he did something horrible, I think you have a right to mention that, but it doesn't sound like that's the case, here.
