Thread: venting? idk what it is..?

every time i have something i want to talk about with my boyfriend, i always change my mind because i feel like it will bore him or he wont understand what im trying to say. Sometimes I want to talk about all kinds of things but when i go to talk to him i just stare at him. If there is something i want him to do with me, i cant find the words to ask him. When im thinking about something that is bothering me and he asks me what im thinking about i automatically say "nothing important" even if i want badly to tell him. He is a really great boyfriend we have a child together and he always takes me where i need to go and he always makes sure i have things i need.. We get along really well and we have been together for about 2 years and we have only fought 2 times and it only lasted 10 min before we made up. so i dont understand why i have such a difficult time with this. I always do the things he wants to do because i know he enjoys it. If he does something i dont like and i know he was just trying to be nice i suck it up and thank him anyways. I write a lot and have many theory's on life and want to talk to him about these things, but it seems like every time i get the courage to speak up he yawns or acts sleepy. When i ask him to read things i write he doesn't say much about them he just reads them and that's it. i just don't understand why i have such a hard time telling him what i want..

Just say it to him and ignore his mood ( its an auto self defense mechanism that we as men activate accidentally). Don't worry about bothering him HE is your boyfriend and if you have a child together EVEN more reason to say anything to him.
