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

A couple of the most important aspects for a healthy relationship are communication in respect. When you talk to your boyfriend, you can tell him how you feel in a calm way and also acknowledge his perspective as well. It's common for people to get upset when they don't feel listened to, so be sure to paraphrase what he's saying when you're talking to him so he knows you are trying to understand how he feels. At the end, if you both don't come to a conclusion on how you can improve your relationship, know that you did everything you could and that it's okay the relationship didn't work out.

Have you all talked about this before? Ask yourself what exactly you are not happy with. Did something happen to make you unhappy with him?

maybe you should try to sit him and talk to him about try to focus on what youre feeling and what he is doing

Commumication is the key..so communicate!!be complwry honest with him why ure not happy. Be real..say the truth

Communication is key in a relationship. Sit down with him and calmly express you aren't happy and tell him why. It's important to state how we are feeling with our partner because that is what keeps a relationship moving, and they can also help you feel better or figure out what is bothering you. Tell him what has been going on and how you are feeling. He will listen to you and try to help. Tell him how it has affected you or the impact that it has had on you. He will also appreciate you being honest with him.

Take time to sit down and have a calm conversation about it. One step at a time. Try to get to the root of the problem and come to an understanding about it.

You can plan out what you are going to say, then sit him down and tell him how you feel. :)

I would suggest pinpointing the specific thing(s) about your relationship that make you happy. Try to discuss the possibility of changing these specific things without making him feel like you are completely unhappy with everything about your relationship.

Just politely tell him what you are unhappy about and what he can change to make both of you happy. A caring boyfriend will understand.

Tell him I'm not happy. Seriously It will save the relationship or break it either ways you will benefit.

You just tell him. He is your boyfriend after all, and for a reason. You trust him. Tell him the truth and he will understand, if not help you get through this together.

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.

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.

If your not happy with him, I would tell him soon. If you are not happy, tell him so he can help you

just be straight up. honesty is the best policy. they will probably want to talk about it all so figure out what it is that has made you not happy and help them to understand. If you are wanting to break up with them then make sure not to put any blame on them and just apologise. Its nobodies fault this has happened, it just has. just be gentle and keep the conversation calm and civil. it will be a lot easier that way to be able to talk together about it properly. As this is very important. they will thank you for being honest in the long run. and you will also be glad for being honest

Telling someone how you feel isn't so easy ,because it all comes with a reaction. How people react will also determine ,whether we feel better or not. So its important to have in mind that the conversation may go either way. Its however also important that you have good intentions before telling your boyfriend how you feel,do you want him to feel guilty about something or do you genuinely just want support from him. Sometimes going without expectations is safe ,as you are open to any reaction. Going back to the question, the best way to tell him is in a calm manner ,clearly explaining to him why you feel unhappy and also explaining to him why you are telling him ( What you hope to achieve through the conversation) about your feelings . Try not to argue and be calm throughout the conversation ,say what you feel and allow him to share whatever he needs to. Validate each others emotions ,try not to justify too much ,as that leads to misunderstandings. ^-^

Tell him that you need to talk to him privately. And let him know how you are feeling, if it’s the relationship itself that you are unhappy with, let him know, or on the flip side, if it’s him that makes you unhappy, let him know. If you tell him in a manner that’s explaining and not blaming that’s a good way to tell him your feelings and thoughts. Good communication is key to be in a relationship that you want to be in. Also if he has concerns let him talk as well. When you talk to him, let him wait till you are completely done telling him how you feel.

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.

this can be hard, especially if it's hard to describe what's making you unhappy. the first thing is: there should be no pressure for you to be happy if your needs aren't being met. you don't need to adjust your standards! I would take a couple steps to make sure you're both in a conversational space that's relaxed, uninterrupted, and sincere. It can also help to make a list of things you need to talk about. It could be as simple as a list of your needs that are not being met. Be open to their response, but also make sure that you are being validated, heard, and taken seriously. I don't think it's possible to hurt someone by telling them that you have needs that are not being met. it's your responsibility to meet those needs, not theirs, and having an honest conversation like this one is a good, proactive way to look out for your self!

Be honest and say it nicely. Tell him why you’re not happy and come up with solutions on how to solve your reason why your not happy together. Also ask him if he’s happy. And make sure to address those issues too. Be very trusting and communicate with him. If there’s something you don’t like tell him. If there’s someone you don’t like tell him it will make him trust you more and it will built your relationship. Always trust your partner. If you see that you are losing trust address it right away because it’s very important I’m a relationship

Simply by saying it. Try to open a conversation without trying to accuse him or put any guilt on either of you. Try to have an honest conversations about how you feel and how you would like to work together on this. Don't try to just give subtle hints, they might not catch on and will leave you both frustrated. If you feel talking isn't as easy, try to prepare by talking to some friends or family first. Don't be afraid, if you're in a loving relationship this there should be room for this and only make your relationship stronger. You can do it!

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 Love”. 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! ❤️

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.

This is something I have struggled with for a very long time. In the end, the relationship completely fell apart just because there was a lack of communication, I didn’t know how to communicate those feelings to him, because I feared he wouldn’t understand. I think it’s important that you do let your boyfriend know that you’re unhappy, and not just imply it, but communicate it loud and clear. Even if he doesn’t understand or is confused about it, you know that you have expressed yourself and have been open with the way you’re feeling. That is always a key to everything in a relationship- communication.

It is inevitable that we will experience some unhappiness in relationships, being hurt or disappointed is a natural part of being human. The most loving way to express this is to do so vulnerably. Avoid criticising anything that he does or saying anything about him, as this may cause him to try to defend himself or his behaviour. Instead, always use statements beginning with the word "I" to openly share how YOU feel about an aspect of the relationship. You can never go wrong expressing how you feel, because when our partners tell us genuinely that they are unhappy, we have a natural striving to satisfy them, because we love them.

Letting someone know your feelings is tough. They might be just as confused or unhappy about the situation as you are so it’s important to pick a comfortable time and place to have a discussion as to why you are feeling this way. It might not be just a straight out I’m not happy because that can leave your significant other overwhelmed and can bring out some reactions or emotions that aren’t beneficial to the situation. It’s shouldn’t be a time to blame but to just respectfully converse about all aspects of what is causing you to be unhappy. Once you are ready at a stage where you feel safe you should let them know how you feel.

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.

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.

By simply telling him. It can be hard to accept it but communication is a key. You cannot expect him to just know you're unhappy and change something. The more you'll you will hide it yourself, the more you're making yourself endure it and have him be clueless. No one can read minds, if you expect a change in a relationship, you've to make your needs clear. In a relationship its always about compromise and adjusting, if neither of the partners do anything, the relationship won't go any further. I know I have been there and it did not end well for me, I expected my partner to just understand my silence but not only was that an unrealistic expectation from him, it made me even more upset when he didn't meet it. Sometimes we make things difficult than they already are and it serves no good to anyone. I hope it helped.

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.
