You tell your boyfriend you're not happy. People are always concerned about how other people will react. Don't be. If you're unhappy, tell him.

Find time to express your emotions, you can't keep it inside as it will make you more unhappy. You could do this by text, call or in person depending on where you feel the most comfortable. Afterall, you should be making yourself happy, as well as others. it will feel like a weight has lifted once you express your emotions. :)

If you are afraid or scared that he might react harshly, you must tell him gently. Telling him, even if he is the kindest person ever, is the first step to your happiness and also a huge improvement in your relationship with him!

You should just be completely honest with him. Tell him how your feeling. If you don't it'll just get worse

You need to talk to your boyfriend one on one and tell hime that i just doesn't seems to be working out right now and that you need to take a little break for a while so you can clear your thoughts.

Be honest, share what is in your mind. And may be look for a solution if you still want to continue with the relationship. Don't let things go farther. Be honest with yourself and with him

I can understand that that can be something hard to come about... I feel like partners should be always honest and never hold back from each other how they're really feeling, also that they should be there for each other whatever happens. If you're not happy with your current relationship, ask yourself if telling your partner will, in the end, get you to where you want to be. If your unhappiness doesn't have to do anything with the relationship, a true, committed partner should understand that you're having difficulties and would support you unconditionally. Honestly, I wouldn't keep someone in my life if they don't consider my feelings.

You can write him a letter and tell him how you feel. Try to avoid using 'you' statements and focus on 'I' statements stating how you feel and giving specific examples and specific solutions. Once you're done writing the letter, read it out loud to him so he hears your voice inflections and so he won't interrupt you:)

Honesty and communication are the foundation of a strong relationship. It isn't easy to tell someone that they are not happy however, I strongly believe that life takes care of all of us when we put everything out in the open. Talk to him, you may be surprised with the outcome. Either way, don't stay un happy!
