This is going to sound like it isn't even advice but I promise you it's the only way to do it. Just do it. That's it. Just do it. Do I not understand that what is being implied here is that it is difficult? No, I do get it. I do. But when you need what you need and when you know in your very being that something is wrong or off... you just have to "get it over with." With experience and observation, it's the only way to go. What's the worst case scenario? They decide they don't think its work it anymore with you? Well, so what? Of course you might love them but love is not only found in one person and in fact there are so many people out there who want to give you want you want because it's part of who they are you don't have to change them, you don't have to walk on egg shells, you don't have to be miserable. Best case scenario? It works out. They realize, you know what, hey, my partner is worth it, I want to try. And guess what? You got to start that process up. Just by doing it. Fear is not your friend.

First of all narrow it down to why you are not happy in the relationship. Is it anything you could work on together, or Not?

Firstly this is your problem not his. Why aren't you happy? What's happening for you in this relationship? Is he doing something to cause you upset? Listen to yourself - maybe the relationship has run its course.

Simply tell him and explain why. Things like this are never easy to say and you're rarely able to lessen the blow.

FInd a time that you are both free to meet up and tell him, it might be hard at first but afterwards you will feel much better

Just start by telling him you would like to talk to him and take your time in explaining how you feel.

Communication is the key for a healthy relationship. Don't worry, if he loves you he wants you to be happy too and will listen to you.

i am so sorry that you are not happy. i feel that direct communication works best in most cases. i say most cases because i don't know the nature of your relationship and if being honest would put you in any danger of abuse then i would not recommend it. If you feel safe to talk openly and honestly, then i myself would ask to talk to him and tell him i am unhappy. It would hopefully lead to a conversation where a mutual solution can be found. IF you are in an abusive relationship, please seek help. 7 Cups has any resources available here. i hope this helped! #biglove

You tell them it’s not them, but it’s you. Tell them you’re not happy in the relationship and you’d like to move on.
