<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

Throwaway for obvious reasons.

My 20F friend has been seeing my 26M friend for a few months and now wants to break up with him. This arose primarily because he told her he loved her and she realized she doesn't feel the same way and doesn't want to hurt him by seeing him any longer. She also said he is really clingy and doesn't give her much space. She also isn't really the romantic type and he wants things to be romantic and perfect.

In the beginning of the relationship she told him her schooling and work will come first. She hasn't been in a relationship before, and he has been in many, and he just got out of one before they started dating.

She planned on breaking up with him yesterday, and before it she stopped responding to his texts and told him she had to study. When he walked by her, she didn't really acknowledge him or say hi, and he went into the other room and started throwing stuff and breaking stuff. This was the first time we've ever seen him do something like that, so she held off on breaking up out of fear.

Now his birthday is coming up in about 6 days, and she's not sure how to handle it. Should she break up now or pretend to be interested in him for about 2 weeks and do it then? Any advice for her or advice on how to support her is appreciated. Any questions are welcome too, if I can answer them.
<bot>: Friend wants to break up with her boyfriend close to his birthday. She wanted to already but he flipped out and threw stuff before she even brought it up. Looking for advice on how she should go about it.
