<human>: Normally, I would never consider breaking up by text, but our past is seriously making me consider it.

A brief history: I dated my current bf [28/m] for three years. We broke up last year pretty much for the whole summer and got back together at the end of October. 

I shouldn't have gotten back with him. I realize this now. Hindsight is 20/20. I understand this situation is completely my fault. He's not a bad guy-- I just don't think we are compatible. We had a serious discussion a couple of days ago about how he feels like I'm not completely dedicated to our relationship. And he's right. He says that makes him clingy, which really makes me feel smothered. But he's extremely dedicated to being together, always making comments like I'm never letting you go and things like that-- even in the conversation a couple of days ago. 

What worries me the most is that last time we broke up, for about two months, he called me everyday at least 10 times. He would constantly text me the whole day. He would show up unannounced at my house. The night we broke up, we had been arguing for about an hour before we broke up. (It was a sort of mutual thing at that point, but he did the actually breaking up). 

I really don't want to go through that again and want to start the distance immediately. I know it is the coward move though. I know a part of me also just doesn't want to see the look on his face when I say it-- though I suppose that's true for all break ups. 

I really care for him though-- just as a friend and not a boyfriend. I'm not sure what the best way to break up is. Or even if there is a way I can avoid all the drama of last time.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I'm thinking of breaking of with the bf by text because 1) bf is clingy and 2) last time we broke up he sort of stalked me for two months.
