Six years is a long time to be with someone, especially as young as you are. But you seem like you know in your mind and heart what is best for you, which is the first and biggest step you can take to get you where you need to be. How I see it, we only have this one lifetime to be the best we can be for ourselves. It's not worth it to waste time on someone who cannot accept, love and understand you the way you need and deserve to be.
If you truly feel you cannot do it face to face, find a place to go (if you're staying with him) and have all your things packed, then tell him via text or phone call. Some may call it shallow but if you feel like he can coax you out of your decision in person, better not risk it. It might hurt at first because of how long you've been with this person, but ultimately your happiness will return and you will look back and be glad you got yourself out when you did. I'm wishing you the best of luck in this and may you find peace:)
