Communication is so very important to keep a relationship alive.

ometimes people just don't open up. It just depends if you want a relationship like that.

I don't want to say this, but perhaps he could be seeing someone else. Hopefully not, but usually when they start acting strange and distant, that's why.


not always tot :)

Nobody has really said anything about this fellow. He's a human being, not a robot.


I didn't say it was always the case, I said it's usually, meaning most likely, but not always. It's a possibility, not a certainty.

Don't assume anything until you find out.

I dont have that "womens intuition" though. I had it with my ex who was infact sleeping with the entire city and those surrounding it. I dont feel that he is..i think it may be something else, but since he doesnt friggin TALK i dont know what it is.

sometimes not talking is better than talking and saying nothing.

It's basically the same thing, isn't it? Not talking is going to get you nowhere, just as talking and saying nothing is going to get you nowhere.

Maybe try to get him to where there is absolutely no distraction.

I would trust your gut. If he was seeing someone else, you most likely would get the feeling. It very well could be stress or something else. Hopefully he figures it out, and things get better.

What do you do when your the one trying to work on things and keep the communication open, yet the other person doesnt really try? When you try to talk out issues with your significant other its like talking to a brick wall...what do you do?


I can relate. My ex and me had communication issues. As long as it was just her talking things went well. But inevitably she would stop talking and it was like I knew something was up. I knew from experience to just stay quiet so that there wouldn't be any arguments. Sure enough she would start talking again and everything would be okay again.

I'm like that too though, i shut down and stop communicating. It just bothers me because this time i am actually trying.

Maybe you two just need to talk about what's going on, and go from there.

I tried...he just sits there and says "i dont know what to say" or "i dont know what to tell you" sometimes thats a plus...otherwise he'll just sit there...until i threaten to scratch his eyes out.

that is why I only have important conversations with myself.

The closer people get the easier it is to feel the other one. Until you get to that closeness it's a bit touch and go. I don't make it too long in touch and go mode. If I don't feel comfortable I don't stick around or I figure out how to be a part of the issue. I have a tendency to deal with things very quickly and not let weird feelings linger. Lingering is torture and only builds bad scenarios in our minds.

I hope so! It would be a little odd if you couldn't get your way with yourself... haha. Do you argue with yourself before you win, though?
