How should I tell him?

[KingOfSnakes20]

Thank you guys for all the advice. I know that what it all boils down to is I have to swallow the lump in my throat and tell him. I don't really spend a lot of money on him. Just little things here and there, except for the first pressing of The Ramones self titled vinyl. Me and him are both experienced haha and where he has told me a couple things about his ex he doesn't really mention him a lot. However, I have a friend that was also his ex and he told me that the guy I'm talking to and his ex had tried to work it out several times. Thanks for all the tips! I just have to get over my rejection fear...
