Communication w/ your SO

[jacq63]

I think my SO is as close to perfect as I'm going to find for myself, and there is no WAY I'd share everything with him. Even after 25 years...or maybe, especially after 25 years. I'd start to feel as if I was an extension of him, rather than my own person.

I think if someone in a relationship is wanting to know everything, and to be a part of everything, its a sign of controlling behavior, but each to their own. I'm always surprised at what works for some couples.

My SO is pretty open with me, but really I dont need to know everything. Honestly honey..just...keep it to yourself. A bit.

I think it's unfortunate, but no, I don't feel I can discuss everything with my wife. I used to, but no longer.

We talk a fair bit. Ask her and she'd say we communicate well, but no. She's too sensitive about certain things -- jumps to conclusions and forms judgments way too soon.

My last boyfriend used to tell me how hot I looked, then take me out for fried food and ice cream I told him several times that I was trying to lose 20 pounds (still am ) but his attitude was that if HE thought I looked OK, then he didn't have to support me in my effort.

That was one (of many) reasons for breaking up.
