The key to good relationships is honesty, Even if it's hard, Even if it's because you want to end the relationship. If you're not happy, your heart isn't in it, and neither of you are getting what you deserve. The best way to do this is the obvious, and it's really difficult. Just be honest, and say it.

not happy about the relationship? or about yourself? Either way, don't be afraid. If he loves you, he will try his best to help you and listen to you. Dont feel afraid to vent to him how you are feeling.

You need to sit down with him and be honest. Nothing good comes from bottling negative thoughts up.

Sit him down and explain to him what you have been feeling. See how he takes it. Explain why you aren't happy, whether it be that he is too protective, or whether he is tearing you down, don't be afraid to speak your mind!

I think you should tell him when you feel like it. Maybe you can write a letter for him to read, or maybe voicemails.

You need to just talk to him about it, tell him what bothers you and try to change it together with him.

It can be difficult to tell someone you aren't happy, but there are ways to make it easier. For example, you could try writing a list of the reasons that you aren't happy to organise your thoughts and narrow down what it is that's making you unhappy. Also, you can find a place that you and your boyfriend feel comfortable speaking openly, this could be in a quiet area, a car etc.

Just sit down, and talk. Have him listen to your thoughts and feelings, and you listen to his thoughts and feelings.

Say ,'I'm not happy because....' and fill in the blank. There is no substitute for honest heartfelt communication.
