The best way to tell someone you are not happy, is honestly. Some times we have to put our selves in uncomfortable situations in order to get things off our chest. Things like that are never easy, so we will always feel anxious, nervous, etc because we do not know how the other person is going to relax. Also, your partner deserves to know you are not happy. He may not be aware, and might not know the adjustments he needs to make. Be honest, be calm, and let him know, so you can both be happy in the relationship.

Open communication in a relationship is very very important. Boundaries too, if you’re not happy in the relationship. I think it would be best to discuss those feelings. And see how the both of you feel about it, and maybe what the both of you can do to change that, and or improve!
But as one of my favourite sayings “You Can’t Force Loveâ€. If you don’t feel as if it’ll work, or there is no feature. You need to be open and honest, tell them how you feel. I wish you the best of luck, take care and stay safe! â¤ï¸

The first step is being open and honest with yourself. Why are you not happy? Are you recieving the love you need from the relationship? Is there something your boyfriend can do to improve the relationship? What can you do to improve the relationship? Everyone has a different love language and you must share your language with your SO and pay attention to his as well. After evaluating your thoughts and feelings, share them with your boyfriend and find a solution together. Remember it's okay to have these feelings. The goal is to resolve them in a proactive manner.

I organize my thoughts and tell him firmly how I’m not happy. Try to communicate to see if there’s a way for both of us to be happy about the situation. If it works out. Great! Because every relationship requires work. Only the one who cares about are willing to do the work with you because he cares. If not, obviously he doesn’t care about me especially when I tell him I’m not happy. Then I would probably break up with him. Nothing is more lonely than being with someone but still feel loneliness. There’s always someone better out there. I rather be single than be with the wrong persona and unhappy for the rest of my life.

Honestly just tell him straight up. Is he not making you happy enough? Or are you just not happy in the relationship? Either way he deserves to know. Maybe you guys can work it out. But just tell him how you are feeling. You shouldn’t be afraid to tell him, just find the perfect time to sit down and talk about it.

It's always a hard thing, to tell someone you love, that you have a problem. But you have to be brave. Because the key is communication. If you don't communicate than you will stay unhappy, but if you tell him straight, but sure not in a harsh way, your problems, you can work on it together and find the right solution. So don't be afraid of speeking, especially if you love someone, because they will understand, all of us have some problems sometimes, and the easiest way to solve it is to aks for help, and the best way is to ask the person you have the problem with, so you both can do something about it.

In an honest and calm way. It’s a difficult conversation for both of you and to tell him this in a way to avoid further issues you need to be respectful and honest. It’s a situation of putting yourself in his shoes, how would you want to be told and treated if it was the other way round? I just feel approaching it this way makes you a big person and it can lead to a much better future and block out any unnecessary drama which isn’t good for anyone. Don’t forget, even if it’s changed now, this person was special to you at one point.

Do not be too direct towards him. State the major things that you are not satisfied about. Make sure he understands how you are feeling. Relationships may not work out if one of you are unsatisfied. It can be hard because he'll become upset. But it just won't work out. Try your best to let him understand that you are upset. Do not be too harsh or show him too much negative emotions. Let him learn a bit more about you so he may try to work things out a bit as well. If he does not care, most likely he's not worth it.

Communication is key in any relationship. We need to communicate our thoughts and feelings constantly especially with those we are close with. Bottling up is very unhealthy and may build up and burst out in a quite ugly manner. We tend to look for complex problems to solutions whereas sometimes it's the simplest answer, communicate. This might seems quite hard to do sometimes, but we need to realise that the only way we can allow others to understand us and satisfy our need of being understood is when we let them know how we're feeling, whether its negative or positive or somewhere in between. Our communication deeply affects the course of our relationships and their outcome. While it might seem easier to convey our happiness, negative feelings or unhappiness, uncomfortableness and so on are just as important to share. This allows room for change and growth not only individually but together. Keeping this in mind, it's important that we let them know as softly and kindly as possible without hurting their feelings or being rude, be honest but not arrogant. Remember that they too are just as human and prone to feeling as you are. There's a reason for everyone being a particular way. But either way, that's not an excuse for hurting someone or behaving unacceptably, if this is the case. Let your partner how you feel as gently as you can and put it across that both your happiness is important for you two as people and as well as your relationship together. If amends can be made and you two are willing to work on them, that's wonderful. If not, sometimes we outgrow people and that's okay, it's all an opportunity to learn and grow. It might seem hard and painful but at the end of day, that's the only way we learn and grow.

I think it's important to have an honest conversation with yourself, before you have one with your boyfriend. It maybe valuable to you to have some clarity about the nature of your feelings.
If you know you're feeling unhappy, do you know what might be contributing to these feelings? Do you feel that your boyfriend's behaviour or personality is contributing to to your unhappiness?
The clearer you can be when you tell your boyfriend about your feelings, the more likely it is that your boyfriend will understand, and try to empathize with you and look for way to help you feel better.
Also note that it is entirely possible that your boyfriend has already noticed some signs or symptoms of your unhappiness, and because of that, he may already have made some conclusions of his own for the reason of your unhappiness. So this may complicate the conversation a little bit, if he already has some preconceived notions. So it's important to be a ware of that possibility, before you start the conversation.
