Just be honest. He should understand and be willing to listen. Don't be afraid to be open with one another. Relationships are teamwork and compromise. Take some alone time with each other everyday to discuss how each other's day went and how you are feeling. I always feel a lot better after being open and discussing my feelings with my boyfriend. I am always nervous he will not see my point of view. However, we end up talking about how we feel and always end up feeling better. Be open and be yourself.

You just have to not being afraid to communicate. Tell him nicely how you feel and be honest. By seeing your honesty and seriousness, he will immediately know that you are being honest and there you go. If you want, note all the things that are making you unhappy and just read it to him to avoid missing anything. In that way you'll be sure you did not missed any points and you will also feel much better for telling everything you needed to tell. By writing things down, especially when you tend to forget important points when talking face to face with a person, you'll actually make sure you've said whatever needed to be said. Hope that helped.

You could take him somewhere and sit him down, tell him you have something to talk about with him and then tell him that you aren't feeling happy in the relationship anymore. You can then see if there is anything he can fix or if you both agree that a break up works for both you, if he doesn't like the idea of you breaking up and takes it really badly just remember that your happiness is just as important as anyone else's! I would also recommend talking to a friend or family member before you sit down with him to get some advice.

Just be honest with him! Communication is so important. I say this to a lot of my members because it seems to be a very common issue. Our society has forgotten to actually talk about their feelings and make themselves heard. If you are unhappy with something and you need to tell your boyfriend, just do it! If he cares and loves you, then this should not be burden for him and should be more than willing to listen and help you through whatever it is you need to address. At the end of the day if you aren't happy, then how are you going to be happy together? Healthy relationships are never one sided and you should be there for one another.

News, both good and bad, is better delivered when both parties are rested and not distracted. It is important that you both are giving each other your full attention. Telling someone that you care about or cared about that you are unhappy will be alot for your boyfriend to digest.
Men are basically egocentric and I do believe that most men want to make their mate happy but maybe they don't know how to do it.
If you are unhappy then you need to clearly state why. Don't attack or belittle. If the relationship is worth saving, offer some suggestions on how it might improve and state that you are willing to work towards a relationship that works for both of you.

If you're having issues in your relationship, one of the most important things to do is to be communicative! Expressing your emotions and being open helps to clear up any confusion or issues and being honest and forthcoming makes bonds in relationships SO much stronger! If you're feeling unhappy, you could go directly to your boyfriend and explain to him calmly and kindly why you're feeling that way, and you guys can talk about ways to fix that problem. Going to a close friend, parent, or even school counselor can also be super helpful because having someone to talk to and get your emotions out can sometimes be a great way to help you understand yourself why you're feeling unhappy.

Opening up to our loved ones about struggle should be something intuitive to us when we have acceptance for ourselves, and our relationships are healthy. When we find that this is something difficult to do, this should prompt us to inquire about our hesitation. Are we ashamed or embarrassed? Are we engaging in avoidance behaviour to convince ourselves that all is well? Is there mistrust in the relationship as a result of insecurity? Or has our partner failed to provide emotional support in the past? These are the questions we need to ask in order to find a way forward.

The most important thing is to be honest with him. This does not mean that you have to be harsh or attempt to hurt him, but if you are unhappy with how things are going, you need to be up front and communicate that with him. I can not tell you how exactly to go about that or what to say as I do not know what exactly is making you unhappy with your current situation. However, I can say that if possible, you should have this conversation face to face in a one on one, intentional manner. This will help the communication process as you can gather much more from an in person conversation than one over text on the phone.

First, choose the right time to talk to him aka when he is mentally in a good place to accept what you are saying, then talk to him about your feelings and the reasons that made you unhappy. It can be hard but it's better than keep acting like you're happy. The longer you pretend the more you both will get hurt. If he is a good person he will respect your feelings. Of course, you can discuss if you want to give your relationship another chance or you want to break up. The only important thing is to tell him the truth.

If you aren't happy in a relationship, sometimes it's the best for both people to be honest about it. Being in a one-sided relationship doesn't benefit either partner in the long run and bottling it up and not telling him can slowly fester into resentment because you feel like you're trapped in a relationship you're not happy in. Be honest with him and tell him how you're feeling, because that lets him know right off the bat and makes you feel better for being open about how you're feeling. Especially if you feel like you don't want the relationship to continue long-term, it's best to get it out in the open sooner rather than later
