I've been living with my partner since last summer and I feel like I don't really know him. We just don't seem to talk. I mean really talk! Just the day to day stuff..Im wondering if i'm expecting too much from him. Maybe I need more chat from girlfriends and expect less from him? I just wonder if this is the norm with couples....my kids are not toddlers anymore and fairly self-sufficient, plus they go to their Dad's every other weekend so we have a lot of time together.....but not much to talk about. Every question seems to get an "I don't know" if it involves a detailed answer. Or watching a film the other night....I asked what did you think of that and I get "good". End of subject. No more discussion. Or when he's staring off into space and I ask "what are you thinking?" I get "nothing". Surely it's impossible for your brain to be engaged in nothing. Am I asking for too much? Or am I possibly mismatched with someone who just can't be arsed to have an indepth conversation? Or is everyone else sitting around having deep, meaningful conversations about the meaning of life and i've missed the boat?
