Put it nicely. Explain the promblem, suggest solutions while having him sit in a safe, comfortable place. Let him be heard and make sure to listen. You can both grow from this.

I went through this recently. You just have to tell him. It sucks either way...but you just have to.

You could write down how you feel so that you can express yourself better to him in a conversation. Find a good moment and place to talk with him.

Honesty is always the best policy in any type of relationship. When you're dating someone you should always be able to talk to them about anything, and whether you're happy or not should be one of those things. Its better to be up front with them instead of prolonging the process.

By sitting them down and being honest with them. If you cannot speak with them, write them a note, do not send them a text. Call them, speak face to face. I think writing things down is the best way when you have a clear head, because when you're emotional that is when you jump to conclusions and say things you do not mean. Take time on this.

You straight up tell them. You cannot lie and fake a relationship. If you're not happy you go and tell them to save yourself and them from the pain

Be sincere, but also try to put yourself in his shoes, how would you feel if it was the reverse situation? Try to be delicate, compassionate, not rude, act like it's you who is listening, which is the best way you could hear such a thing? When you know the answer, act like that with your boyfriend, but remember: the most important thing is to be sincere

Well.. it's always good to have a heart to heart conversation with your loved one and when you find that both of you are in good spirits that would be an opportunity to discuss what you are going though. If both of you are in the a stressful situation, may be things will be hard. I always discuss my issues, when my partner is not depressed so that she has the energy and the capacity to absorb and empathize. We all are human beings in the end of the day and can't expect the other one to absorb my pain when the partner is in pain..

I recommend taking a day for yourself, away from everything else, to reflect on your life and identify what is bothering you and what would you like to see different. After that, you can select the things you want to share with your boyfriend. Tell him there is something very important for you that you want to share with him, maybe make sure you are in a place where you feel comfortable talking about this. Say what is making you unhappy so you both can come up with ways to help you. As always, keep calm and be assertive but not aggressive. Communication is a team sport!
