Do you ever run out of conversation with your partner?

[diehardfirst]

Is this just inevitable?

No! That sounds very sad.

No, but equally not scared of companionable silence when it happens.

Yes of course! I mean you can't expect to be talking 12 hours a day every day of the holidays surely? What's wrong with being quiet together? I think people who struggle with silence are not comfortable with themselves.

Why do you always need to be talking?

We love a bit of chilled silence in our house. We're definitely not always chatting, that would do my head in.

Yes. And that's ok. However we do also enjoy spending time together and a good natter. If we never had good conversations I'd worry.

My ex wouldn't make conversation particularly on meals out it would be a one way conversation and very uncomfortable.
Current partner is very chatty but sometimes we do have comfortable silence.

No, but equally we don't feel the need to talk constantly. We're both quite happy to sit in comfortable silence for a few hours a time.

Plenty of silence which I had to request as DH loves to fill silences but no overall we always sit in comfortable silence or chatting.

Are you uncomfortable with silences? My DH absolutely used to be but has learned to appreciate them or are you finding you don’t communicate well? They are very different issues.

Yes it’s been 10 years so we often sit in silence, especially if watching tv or on our phones (this happens too much). We have deep chats where no topic is off limits and playful chats at other times, sometimes we have a right good gossip too.

We spend a lot of time together as we both work from home, no kids, and spend all of our annual leave together, so there’s bound to be silences. When DH has been away from work and calls me, we suddenly have loads to catch up on, so I can see how distance/time apart makes for better conversations when reuniting!

If we want to talk there’s always plenty to talk about but happy to get on with our own stuff side by side. Probably helps that we have two small kids and find it hard to finish more than a couple of sentences to each other when they’re around 😂

Plenty to talk about but a lot of companion able silence too. We can sit and read for hours with just a few words now and again.

No we always have something talk about. And if there is a silence it’s mutual and we don’t notice.

I've never run out of conversation, but I also do feel comfortable in silence.

What makes you think that he could possibly have anything interesting to say?
