It can be difficult when you are not happy in a relationship and don't want to hurt your significant others feelings by saying how you really feel. I think your best option would to just be honest about how you feel. If you keep how you are feeling inside it will most likely end up making you feel even more unhappy. Putting how you feel out in the open could lead to changes in your relationship, which could be for the better. It would probably be good to do it somewhere privately so that you have the chance to talk alone. Just say how you really feel.

You walk up to him and say: I'm not happy.
Such situations are really simple but feel incredibly complex because of the pain involved.
Telling your partner you are dissatisfied is as simple as reading this, but experiencing guilt, uncertainty, anxiety, apprehension isn't that simple.
Thing is, Pain is just part of the process. You can't have progress without struggle.
The key to go through any conflict isn't the avoidance of the pain or the salvation from it, but rather the acceptance of the pain and active-engagement in it.
When you ignore your pain you suffer, but when you engage your pain you grow.

I am very straight forward with my answers. My answers come across only when I am sure that I won't be able to continue any longer. If I am not happy then boyfriend will also not be happy in the relationship. So I guess I will say it directly to his face rather than beating around the Bush. That way it will not make one fall prey to pretentiousness. And sooner or later words will define your state of mind. So without further consoling myself, I would opt for a one to one conversation to clear the air of misconception.

Be honest with him. He should be understanding of your feelings. Do not sugar coat how you feel to make him feel better. It is okay to not be happy. That just means you have to voice your opinion and get things off your chest. That may make you guys' bond stronger by being honest. You know him, so figure out a way to be respectful and not angry. You should talk to him when you're in a clear headspace. That way you are not saying things you do not mean out of anger. I wish you nothing but the best!

I will understand my emotions clearly first like whether I am really unhappy or not before deciding to tell him. Then I will meet with him tell him that I am not contented and happy with the relationship and the reason behind it. If he understands, we will talk things out and try to find solutions to the problem. If he tries to deny and argue, I will give him some time to think about it. If i continue feel like I am really happy with what is happening , then I can't help it and talk things out with him again.

its actually great that you show the signs of communicating and not just ending things on bad terms.
To achieve your goal , you need to plan the timing, dont delay it too much.
plan the time, tell your partner that you have important to discuss, make a comfortable environment for both of you and start telling how have you been feeling lately about the relationship, directing towards you not being happy, indicating the causes of it.
explain all the reasons and possible causes of it.
if you think you can work on it with the help of your partner then Ask for the help.
incase you think you cant help it, make things clear to your partner and ask them to give your time to reevaluate things again?

I would try to write a letter. Often times this can be very effective because you’re getting your words out and can reflect back on it. Re-read it a few times and give it to him when ready. Also, try talking in person. Remember to stay calm and try to be as empathetic as possible. Explain why you are not happy and what could possibly change. Be open about everything and try to listen to what your boyfriend says about the situation. Make a plan together and decide on how you both can “win†in the relationship. Good luck!

Why is it that you feel unhappy? Perhaps you should open up the conversation with the reasons you feel the way you do. Use of "I" statements is also really important in these cases. A good start might be to consider writing it all down for yourself in order to get your thoughts straight and this alone may also be helpful. You may also want to consider beforehand what your goals are in having the conversation. What do you want to get out of it? Opening up/beginning the conversation can be the hardest part, but don't overthink it, simply be direct and honest.

I belive the best way of how to tell your boyfriend that you aren't happy in your relationship is with an open and honest conversation with him! The crucial part of it is that you stay genuine and honest and truly explain to him of how you really feel. I know you might be afraid of perhaps hurting his feelings or something but at the same time you are hurting yourself by not telling him of how you truly feel about this whole relationship. You can tell him the truth yet still be gentle about it but make sure to not let any of the important parts out thats the only way of making peace with your consciousness and your boyfriend at the same time..who knows you might be even able to come to a conclussion where you both can be happy and work things out in the end :)!!!

Try to find a calm moment when you're both together in person. Think about what makes you unhappy and try to tell him what you can in the moment. You dont have to say it all, just one point that you can share with him at the moment. Then you can both think together how to solve the situation you're feeling in general or in the relationship. It can become a moment where you can explain what you're going through and your needs. You can think of what to say before, maybe the most important point, or what is hurting the most.
