1. What matters here is who's name is on the lease? Is it just yours? Or is his on the lease also? If it's just your name on the least you have the right to kick him out. Tell him he can pack up his things quietly, or you will call the police if he doesn't leave. Simple, right? My point: NEVER EVER put a boyfriend's name on the lease until after you get married.
2. This will hurt him no matter what. He is just sensitive and he will have to learn to deal with it, suicide watch or no.
3. Do not manipulate him to breaking up with you just because you are weak. Put your SuperGirl Panties on, be strong, and kick him out. Be civil, but firm. Set a date and time for deadlines.
4. What did you say to him when you broke up with him? You need to be direct and say "I'm sorry this isn't working out. I want to date other people. Please move out tonight by 6pm. You can get the rest of your things later."
If you want to give him 10 days to find another apartment, do so, but be firm with the deadline. Give a date AND time he has to be out, like Nov 14, 5pm.
