TITLE: I [23M] want to break up with my girlfriend [20F] of almost a year.
POST: I have been with my girlfriend for almost a year now and I feel like I should have ended things within the first month. 

There were always certain things that bugged me about her, but since I am not a confrontational person at all, I just put up with it thinking "the sex is good and she will probably break up with me soon anyway." I was very wrong. 

To be clear, I do care about her immensely and when I tell her I love her a big part of me means it. I just don't think we are right for each other at all and the relationship is sickeningly codependent, which I am not ok with.

She moved in with me pretty early on, which seemed like a good idea at the time. Over the past few months I've been realizing I just want space more than anything, but I can't kick her out without breaking up with her. Our relationship would quickly deteriorate if I did that and I think that may cause more emotional turmoil than if I just broke up with her outright.

The issue lies in the fact that she has nowhere to go if I break up with her. I would of course give her time to find a place and move out, but I don't want to be around her at all right after we break up. A good friend of mine offered me a place to stay while she is finding a place and moving out, but I am not entirely sure I trust her at my apartment alone while she is in the heartbroken state she will undoubtedly be in. She is insanely clingy and emotionally unstable. I am a paranoid person and I don't really think she would do anything, but I don't want to take the risk of her breaking or stealing anything because I don't know for a fact that she wouldn't.

Another issue is that she doesn't have a job. She has no way to pay for an apartment of her own and will probably be unable to find  an alternative in the timeframe I would give her.
TL;DR: 
I want to break up with my girlfriend of almost a year. I don't want her alone in my apartment after we break up, but I also don't want to be there with her. Read the post.
