However, I'm sad to say that if a guy is too high maintenance, he may not want to be your friend if you break up with him. If he says he does, it will probably just an attempt to get back together with you. Tell him that you think you two need your space for a while, then maybe sometime down the road you can be friends.
Good luck. Let me know what happens! [ Ivy921's advice column | Ask Ivy921 A Question ]

Just playing, I assume by high maintenance the boy needs constant reminder that you still love him unconditionally which gets on your nerves, understandably. Since you've already made your decision that it just won't work out, you need to let him know why it's not going to work if you haven't already. If you did try and fix the problem and let him know already, then just go right ahead and drop the bomb.. in person.
There's no easy way to put an end to it but it'll stop trouble from arising out of it if you tell him out of the bottom of your heart. This means honesty, straight-to-the-point, and the verdict. If he tries to cut in or defend himself just let him know you want to finish what you're saying. Remember, you need to make sure that he foresees this coming and your reasons why because the shock of it can quickly turn to anger and that always leaves a scar. Of course break ups are never easy and there is always a chance for reconciliations and friendships. You shouldn't do this though, if it'll just end up hurting you and/or him more.
