Argued with my boyfriend

I have just had a small discussion with my boyfriend. But I really hates it when it happens. I am not that kind of person that likes to talk everything that is going through my mind and he is always trying to force me saying everything. And I hate that. If I don't want to talk, I won't do it. And all this discussions end up in a stupid way: me being sad and him also sad. Useless. I just wish there were no discussions at all...

In a relationship you do need communication at times, but it should be easy to communicate with the one you love. I hope things get better soon for you.

Alright I've run out of places to reply or comment, Loving, So I'm going to Lo-Jack this one since Hijacking is frowned upon! Hey, @fufurinha! I keep reading your little answers and it's like I'm hearing just a bunch of noise....pleasant noise, I assure you! But noise is noise, and it's like you're asking people for help with wanting to eat this candy bar. But it's wrapped and "you don't like unwrapping candy bars! Then someone suggests that it's important to be able to unwrap our candy bar, and you're sort of into it, like in theory, but your still saying but it's just so hard to unwrap and I just want the candy bar, why does the wrapper continuously keep staying wrapped around the candy bar! No! You can't get the candy bar without opening the wrapper somehow! So just decide if you REALLY care if it's this particular candy bar, you might find a partially unwrapped one laying around somewhere else if not, or if your willing to score it or slice it or rip it until the stupid wrapper finally DOES come off and then you get your candy bar! Now I want a candy bar, so I gotta' go, but just decide what you are more worried about the unwrapping or keeping the candy bar! Oh, that was an analogy in case I was unclear!

@fufurinha Do you mean no discussions? Or no discussions about the relationship?

Discussions are arguments are part of a relationship. You need to be more patient and diplomatic, when discussing something with him. If he asks something, which you do not want to reveal, just try to divert the topic, start asking about matters related to him or just say - "Hey! you are wearing a great shirt today" Hope it helps.

@fufurinha - It is my pleasure. You need to talk to him to open up but still you need to think twice before saying anything to him, means you should not get carried away and share everything with him.

I think men and women are quite different. When we think something is big and serious, men will just think it is a little case and even think we are making a fuss. I agree to have a talk, at least he shall know why. But I also accept that usually the talk will not have a good ending right away. Each other will be sad after that. But after some time, everything will be fine again.

@fufurinha Don't worry, the relationship has ups and downs. Soon both of you will be happy with each other again. This is my experience between my husband and I. It is very common to have arguments.

@fufurinha Practice. Talking is a behavior, and behaviors can be changed. If you like him, you will do things that make him like you to. But if it takes you too much out of your comfort zone, then maybe there is something deeper in you that is causing the problem. Do you know that one thing you could practice to get you talking more, is singing! When you are at home, play songs you like and practice singing with them! Sing in the shower, in your car, anywhere. After awhile, you will like to be expressing yourself.

Hon? Without a little discussion, humans can't live together. We would just be dumb beasts of the fields. (Scientists conjecture that living/hunting together is what brought the human speech centers of the brain to develop.) I am very sorry you are having a problem with your boyfriend right now. I am sure you know that the wisest thing to do is each of you give up a little of your differences. You need to learn to talk to him a little more and he needs to learn to let you have a little quiet time all to yourself!

This happened to me many times when I was younger. But my situation is the opposite of you, I was the one who likes to talk everything, my husband was not. Slowly, I learned to understand, accept and respect this is who he is, and he is different from me. I hate it when I had arguments or quarreling with my husband when I was younger too, the feeling was really terrible. Both of us learned and grew, and we rarely quarrel now. It takes time to learn, but it makes our relationship stronger too. Perhaps you can talk to him, this is just who you are and what you prefer to do (not to talk) when both of you are calm. Hope you and him will feel better very soon.

Very opposite for me. I like to talk everything on my mind, while my boyfriend prefers to keep silent. However, communication is key so I try to reduce my talking and condense my thoughts less now.

It really sounds like you two are not very well matched to each other. Communication has to be easy for two people to be close and stay close. If communication is a big problem, then it is better to find someone who is more like you are, or at least understands that you are a private person who needs a bit of space. Bad relationships really take more work than they are worth, and they end up falling apart in the end anyway.

@ThankyouLord Thank you so much for your words. You are correct, I should talk to him in order to make things better. I don't want to loose him.

@fufurinha Then I would gently suggest that you have a nice conversation with him, and tell him that when he keeps trying to get into your thoughts, it makes you uncomfortable. Let him know how you feel when he does that. Perhaps you can offer him some alternatives, so when those times come, he can do something else other than try to pry into your brain. He cares, or he wouldn't keep asking what you are thinking. You are probably an enigma to him, and he is trying to figure you out. But too much of that, and he will tire of it. Also, you might want to start to open up a little bit. Perhaps you feel too invaded when he does that, but he will ask less if you offer a bit more. It goes both ways in communication.

Communication is necessary in relationship and the way you think just denotes you never loves him .I think better to move ahead as heart says.

It would be worse if neither of you spoke at all! You need to decide on a way to end discussions before they heat up. Men rarely will, so it is up to you to have a plan.
