This post is the winner, OP.

If you give any details, he will try to negotiate. That's what always happens and it'll get harder and harder to extricate yourself without looking like an asshole and hurting his feelings even more. Meet him in a neutral place you can leave fast, tell him the relationship has run its course, if he ask why, use the good old "it's not you it's me" then GTFO and cut off all contact.

My only disagreement is that even if you would like to stay friends, I couldn't say it. It'll sound like a chance to stick around and rekindle the relationship and unfairly gives hope. Better to cut it all off and reopen the lines of communication later.

It sounds harsh but it's much kinder than reading him the riot act about not being clean or making it about his dick.

Yeah i should be clearer about that. If OP wants him as a friend thats up to her (I wouldn't, he seems toxic as fuck) but even if she does she really needs at least a few months of no contact after the break up.
