How do I tell my boyfriend I'm not happy?

In my opinion, don't be afraid of an answer or reaction. When the truth comes out, that's the first step of feeling relieved. Being in a relationship means have trust and don't be afraid to tell your partner anything.

The most important things in any relationship are as follows; trust, honesty, and communication. All of those traits are necessary for any long-term relationship. To start, gain the confidence to have this talk with your partner. Calm yourself. Think about what you want to say. VERY IMPORTANTLY, assess why you're unhappy. Are they not giving you enough attention? Do they say things that are hurtful? Do you feel misunderstood? When you're ready and comfortable, approach your partner, be straight-forward. Honesty and communication is extremely important. Tell them how you feel. Tell them why you feel the way you do. Tell them what you'd like changed, and then ask them if there's anything you could do differently too. The worst case scenario is that it doesn't work out, but that is okay. You tried to work on something you cared about, and that's what matters. You tried. The best case scenario is that your partner will listen and the both of you will work to improve your relationship.

it's always good to be honest w someone about your feelings. just sit down & talk to your boyfriend. tell him how you're feelings & what he's doing to make you feel unhappy. if he doesn't change after you've talked to him, then it's time to move on bc you deserve to be happy. there's no point in having a relationship w someone if you aren't even happy.

Telling your boyfriend you are not happy, in my opinion, must be thought out thoroughly before engaging in the actual deed. Questions to ask self: Is this a recurrent theme? How serious am I? Am I overexaggerating? In initiating, "the talk," I want to make sure that I will be listened to and taken very seriously. I do not want to sound repetitious, because that's how I condition others to take advantage of me. Beforehand.. I write down specific behaviors and/or words of his which create the most pain/problems for me. I like to outline exact and specific, tangible realities that he is capable of changing. I try to be realistic as possible in formulating my query into our problems. The talk should be scheduled and in a safe place with few mental distractions. I should read over my writings beforehand and be prepared to stick to the point in exchanging my thoughts and feelings. The talk should leave him with a solid ability to plan accordingly and to know exactly how I feel. He should know that th is means business and is not an empty threat.

I would tell him exactly how you feel and why you aren't happy. I would just tell him straight up what is going on to see what he does to react. If he tries to fix it he cares about you, if he does not well then he isn't worth it.

Sit down and talk! It's as simple as that, a relationship isn't just there for one persons pleasure. If you are unhappy ask if he can talk and then let him know how you really feel!

Be completely honest with him. Have a conversation with him about everything that's going on, open up to him.

Start by evaluating why you are unhappy. Then consider when your partner/boyfriend might be receptive to hearing you. Do not wait until an argument, or until the next trigger for your unhappiness. Try and think of realistic, positive outcomes and how to achieve them. Maybe after a fun activity, or during a private moment, try asking them what they think about the problem. Start small. And be open minded! Sometimes the problem looks different once you lay it out on the table. Remember, this is a relationship -- you have to be able to give AND take!

Sometimes it helps to have an honest conversation. If you tell him you are not happy and why, maybe you can "change" things and get some understanding. You will also feel a relieve talking about this instead of worrying about it, which will make you more anxious.

Tell your boyfriend that you want to talk to him, sit him down and say to him that you have not been feeling good or upset.
