Telling your boyfriend how you feel about him is an action that is important and reflects well on your integrity and character. If I were in your shoes, I would feel anxious and nervous regardless of whether I was sharing positive or negative feelings. Reaching out to listeners and therapists for support and ears to practice on may be a practice that you find helpful. What are your feelings? Are there common events that bring these feelings out in you? Are these feelings causing you distress in your romantic relationship? What outlets have you tried to gain clarity on your feelings?

There are a lot of ways to express yourself to your significant other. However, lets first talk about what you want to tell him specifically, so when the time comes you are prepared mentally. I think that it is better to talk in person with your boyfriend because you are able to converse while observing body language. This way you could see if he is uncomfortable or understanding based on his behavior. You could arrange a meeting place and have a set time for this conversation to happen. Most importantly, be yourself. Do whatever you feel comfortable in doing, never take it upon yourself to act differently.

Hello, what a great question! Sometimes telling people how you feel and sharing emotions can be scary. I've experienced that It’s helpful to start by gathering your thoughts on you own. Write down how he makes you feel, what he does to make you feel this way, how it affects you. It’s best to understand your own feelings first before bringing it up to someone else. After that, try gently explaining to him how you feel. Give him a chance to explain and/or tell you how he feels about you. Remember to keep his feelings as well as your own in mind. Happy Healing!

If you do not like your boyfriend and are worried to tell him that, then you should think is this a healthy relationship. You should feel safe and happy when talking to him. You should also be firm with him, let him know that it’s not up for discussion, but try not to hurt his feelings. Timing is also very important, for example, you don’t want to tell him this during an argument or when he’s angry because this could lead him to lash out. You should find a time when he’s calm, and if you don’t think you can talk to him for fear of your own safety, you should seek help off an adult or friend.

if you are not currently near your boyfriend, write it out before hand to make sure you are clearly communicating what you feel about him, then tell him face to face or over video chat what you wanted to say. sometimes the simplest thing to say to your loved ones when you are feeling emotionally overwhelmed is "i love you" if you don't feel that to be true, you should question yourself as to why you don't feel like you love your boyfriend. communication, especially with the ones we care for the most, is the most important part of maintaining a healthy relationship

Hi! There are two ways you could go about this, one is to tell him how much you love him and two is to tell him about some of the things you don't like about him. For the first one, I find it easier to talk to him online than in real life, since you can review what you typed. I also write cards and send him small notes on little notepads to show my gratitude! If your relationship has been rocky, I find it easier to mention a breakup or talk things through in person, because your tone and expression would be more clear, and you can be more immediate instead of ghosting, or becoming emotional without support. You can be creative, write a note in an origami and give it to him, give small gifts, pat his head, and more!

This one is a tough question. If you are telling your boyfriend how you feel about him in a positive tone then it should not be too difficult. Just make it heartfelt. Make sure to really show that you are not only saying it for dating reasons but because you mean it. Do it somewhere private and look into his eyes and just be honest. Chances are, he wanted to say the same thing. If you meant this question in a negative way then that is more difficult. You will want to do it in a way that will hurt the least. Go somewhere private and tell him that you have been thinking about things. Let him know how you feel. After, maybe propose some ideas to work on those feelings. Remember to breathe!

Start the conversation with saying very good things,, and how much you appreciate him, then start little by little telling him things that drive you crazy. When talking to him be sure to use "I" statements instead of "you" statements. For example, instead of saying "You never care about what I think." say, " I feel as if you might misunderstand me, allow me to kindly repeat myself." Not only is this good communication, but it doesn't make everything tense when you say something that you guys might disagree on. God and good communication is what really helps relationships!!

Communication is the key. You could arrange a convenient time when you are both in a calm state of mind, and free, then discuss how you feel with him. It's important that you chose the right words to express your feelings but be honest and open at the same time. The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after. I wish you all the best. Good luck and I hope everything will be okay in the end. You got this.
