How do I talk to my boyfriend about our relationship?

The way you asked this question. Just sit down with him and have a conversation with him like 2 humans engage in conversation. There's really nothing to hide and it's best to talk to him about ANYTHING regarding your relationship, taking into account that you're not cornering him or forcing him to do it. Let him have a say, you should both express your feelings and with conversations that tends to happen. You shouldn't complain about anything either and nor does he.

Find a time when you have some quiet and/or privacy. Be calm and try to use plenty of "I statements" to explain your feelings. Make sure you listen to him carefully and try not to jump to conclusions; clarify his statements when necessary and rephrase and restate his words to you. Make eye contact & smile when appropriate. Be honest, kind, and willing to hear him.

Just be open with him, put your feelings on the line. Sit down and have a heart to heart. :) Thats all it takes. It can change the course of a relationship.

Just have a sit down with him and discuss the issues that you are worrying about in a calm manner. It can be hard but you just need to explain to him you have some concerns or things you would like to talk about

Simply 'talking' to your significant other can seem hard sometimes, but it's one of the easiest ways we can convey how we feel and what we are needing in the moment. Try starting off with 'Can we talk?' or 'I'd like you to know something.' It's never easy but establishing good, active communication is the best way to solidify a healthy relationship. People cannot read your mind, if something is bothering you or you feel like you need to say something important, just sit them down, and express yourself freely. Your partner will appreciate the honesty.

Explain the possible difficulties you have and try to break the problem down to basic forms carefully.

Make sure he's calm. Then explain how you feel. It depends how you feel if you are going to say you want to break up don't do anything fancy like cook him a meal just be normal. If you want your relationship to step up be nice maybe cook him a meal.

Tell your boyfriend you would like to talk to him about your relationship. Sit somewhere quiet and alone if you feel safe and talk to him or somewhere public if you don't feel safe,

In my own experience, I believe the first thing you need to do is address the topic you want to talk about. Try to be specific, and tell your partner how you are feeling, without blaming or blowing up on your partner. keep as calm as possible and remember communicating is not a one way street.

This can be tricky, especially with someone who lacks in the communication area. But if you mean anything to each other you should be able to ask each other anything. And figure out what the other person is feeling. Just ask, and see what happens.
