Yeah, I'm going to break up with Todd. It's time.
It's a little sad, but for every beginning there's an end. This one's just a little shorter than I'd hoped. Hopefully soon there'll be another beginning.
But in the mean time: life. Fun.
It's just that while I care for him - on the fast track for really caring for him, he just doesn't seem to really be *there* with me. Lately he seems like a totally different person than that guy that brought me flowers on our first date.
The truth of the matter is; I want it all and I feel like I deserve it. I want someone that can be proud of who they are, who I am, and who does not have a problem saying so. I want someone that isn't so unabashadley afraid of commitment. I want someone who wants to be with me, not someone that just wants to have someone. I'm just not okay with investing everything into something (i.e. a relationship, or what could be) that isn't going to pan out. I don't want to deal with that again. So, I'm chosing not to.
Only: how do you break up with someone you barely fight with, or lately, even speak to?

Maybe go for the honest approach? Say you're very fond of him but it's not working out as the kind of long-term relationship you want. The 'we'll do better as friends than lovers' thing is a cliche but it's often true. Keep it low-key with no raised voices or accusations and no blame attached would be best if you do want to stay friends with him.
Good luck. *hugs*
