“It's time for us to part.” “You will always have a big part of my heart.” “I wish you well, but it is time for me to go.” “I mean it when I say this: I love you, I will miss you, but it is time for goodbye.”
I'm finally going to get off this roller coaster. I am truly sorry for the pain that this breakup will cause you. I wish you the best of luck, regardless of what happens. While goodbyes are inevitable, expressing gratitude for the relationship you both shared is also important.
“I love you.” These three words are one of the greatest phrases to use in goodbyes. Practice saying them. “I forgive you.” or “I'm sorry.” These are powerful goodbye words and can transform you and the person who receives them for a lifetime. “Thank you” is another comforting goodbye phrase.
I care about you so much, but I don't feel like we are a good fit for each other anymore. As awful as I feel ending things, I know in my heart it's the right thing to do. We both deserve a relationship that makes us feel amazing, and right now our relationship isn't it.
“I wish you the best, but I don't think we should be in contact.” “This will be the last text I send you, please respect this boundary.” “Separation is what I need right now, so I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Thanks for understanding.”
Write a forgiveness letter.
Let go of any resentment or blame, and include all the things that you are truly grateful for about that person. Again, this is not for sending, but rather to release any thoughts of blame, and to cultivate a more loving mindset towards your soon-to-be-former friend or partner.
I'm sorry I couldn't be as inspiring for you. I tried to keep you going when you were down and confused in life, and I'm sorry I couldn't. But I promise to always be there for you. That sucks for me, but I'll take it anyway.
Honesty is usually the best policy. Be honest, but not hurtful. There is a reason you're deciding to move on and that this person is not “the one.” Just say that. “I don't think you and I are meant to be.” Be mindful of the other person's feelings and avoid saying deliberately hurtful things.
One reason is that we've gotten attached to a job, a relationship, or the vehicle or thing we're going to say goodbye to. The fact that we've had a wonderful experience and formed a relationship with the people we're about to say goodbye to makes us sad, uncomfortable, or apprehensive about what comes next.
The death of a future you imagined for yourself with your ex, one that you probably imagined together, can be one of the most difficult things to come to terms with after a break-up. It makes your present that much harder to get through (see above). It's OK to mourn and grieve the loss of that future.

That being said, he will probably want to know your reasons, so you need to be prepared with an honest answer. Something like, 'we don't treat each other with love and respect and I think it's time for us to both move on and be with people who love us how we deserve to be loved', covers this but in a kind way.

You can say, “It's over between us now. We had good times and I will always appreciate them and think of you in a positive way, but it's time for us to part ways. So, I'm saying goodbye once and for all. I wish you all the best and I hope you find happiness with a man you truly love.
Use specifics in your goodbye message
It's meaningful to use specific memories to craft your message. Consider the first time you met a loved one or a funny inside joke you want them to always remember. Are you writing a letter to a younger person? Include any advice you want them to keep in mind throughout their life.
