How do I tell my BF that I don't want him to spend Xmas with my family because I'm planning to leave him?

I'm specifically saying that an isolated, commitment phobe, who has continuously demonstrated selfish behaviors will have a pretty significant chance of reacting poorly to the financially stable partner wanting to break up. He sounds exhausting and useless, and those men do not like being broken up with. Being prepared for a partner to react poorly is the bare minimum any person should do in a break up. How many woman are adversely effected when they try to leave a partner. The statistics are frightening.

So, yeah, I think it's totally fine to be prepared and I find it weird and dangerous to act like violence against women isn't a major problem in our society.
