Be honest. Communication is a big part of a relationship so just tell him how you feel, why you may be feeling that way and see if you can offer or come up together with solutions to help

The first thing you should do before speaking to your partner is finding out why you are unhappy. Once you are able to tell your boyfriend you are unhappy, you two can talk about what has to be done in order for you to be happy. You may catch your partner off guard when you bring up the situation, so try to be the bigger person and avoid getting into a big fight. Make sure not to leave anything out when you have this conversation as you want your boyfriend to fully understand what led to this. After everything is out in the open, ask your boyfriend what he wants, tell him what you want, and get closure. Don't let this situation drag on for months, find a solution as soon as possible.

I know it’s easier said than done but you need to be straight forward with it! If they genuinely care for you then they will want to hear how you feel! They should respond with sympathy and concern. If they don’t, then they probably aren’t for you. I know relationships can be unbelievably painful and hard. I’m here to help! Stay strong!

To tell your boyfriend you're not happy, meet up with him in person. Never, and I repeat: never, address an issue such as that over the phone. By meeting up with him in person, you two can talk things out

just tell him, be honest, if its something his doing than he can work on and you think you can be happy again well than tell him that...if its just you dont want to be with him at all tell him...its hard but people break up with there boyfriends and girlfriend every second or people get dumped every second thats part of life and thats part of dating, he will move on. dont be mean about it, dont make it harder for him than it already will be...but hey you never know maybe he feels the same way and it will be mutal and easy for both of you...

Its simple. He is your boyfriend. He loves you. You people stay together, love each other and may be planning a life together. So, firstly he will understand on his own. In case he doesn't make him understand. Be frank and tell him. He will surely understand. May the joy be with you :-)

it's not always easy to explain to the people we care about the most the things that make us unhappy. perhaps starting a conversation with asking him if he's happy and to discuss his emotions might be a great place to start, because that unhappiness felt could be mutual! conflict resolution and problem solving is a lot about dialogue and, although it might be really difficult, having a completely honest and transparent conversation in candour with him might be the best way to get that across.

This is hard. It's hard to tell someone you love and care about that you are struggling but it also difficult because once someone knows then its real. Being honest and open with your partner will strengthen your relationship but then you will both have the support you need from each other. Just sit down and be honest.

Well, sometimes is difficult to have certain conversations. However is important to try solve a situation rather than avoid it, feeling unhappy in a relationship is an important matter. Before the actual conversation there is some preparation I suggest to follow and always have worked personally for me. First of all think why you feel unhappy. When you have solved that, think what would you like to get out of the conversation. Do you want to work things out or end the relationship, if you don’t know is alright. Now you should have: firstly, a reason why you feel unhappy. Secondly the impact on you so far which is the fact you feel unhappy and finally an aim, which is what you are aiming to get out of the conversation. All you need now is to be calm and clear with your boyfriend. From the moment when he will have a clear picture of what is going on, it will be easier for both of you.

Look, boyfriend has no use if you can't tell him you are not happy. Take some time, sit in peace with him. Hold his hand and tell him that you are teying your best to be happy. And you needs his help.
