communication issues

@xbabix Hi, I've had a similar experience and hopefully things will be better for you. I've had that sm, he turns out to be sm very easy to talk to. It was my last encounter. If given a chance, I wouldve had a candid convo with him, his passions and story, what he's been through. I realize too late that I could've help him, and things would be different. . Word of advice, no.1, play it on your field, go to places or do activities both of you enjoy, do your research or choose a place you have better knowledge of to feel prepared. E.g. your fav cafe. No.2, find a mediator, if you're uncomfortable hanging with him, find someone you can talk to easily, an extrovert to tag along. If he can talk to yr friend easily this gives you an assurance that he's okay. Also, no.3, you have to know why are you feeling anxious in the first place. . The easiest way to have a conversation is to share similar experience. . So here's sth that hopefully will motivate you. Fear helps you, but it sometimes gives you a false reality. But, it's not necessarily have to be that way. All the best!

How long have you been together? I’ve been with my husband 16 years and his ability to talk and have conversation with me it still limited. Maybe he is not a good match for you, you shouldn’t have to hear him complain about you all the time. Maybe he really needs someone who is very easy to talk to, and maybe there is someone out there who would really love someone like you who may not talk a lot—or maybe there is someone out there who you’d be a natural talking with! Do come contemplating about what you each need, maybe it’s time to part ways?

Hey. Maybe u can ask how his day was. Did anything interesting happen. Tell him how your day was. Any plans u have. Any emotions you’ve been feeling. Anything new you’ve learnt or seen
