breaking up..so hard to do man

My bf lives in a nother state. I wont give details but i feel deep down that our relationship is dying and over. I want to break up with him, do you think i need to do it in person? I care for him deeply and don't want to hurt him, but obviously i'm not happy and life's too short. Would i suck if i did it on the phone? It's kind of my only option..unless i wait until dec when we were planning on seeing each other agian. I mean again. What do y'alls think? Tweet
