break up or communicate with her
Have you tried talking to your girlfriend and telling her what you've told us and how much it bothers you? Tell her that you don't feel like she's listening as much as she's talking.
irl convo is fine. Only on the phone i have an issue. we have been dating for 10 years and are getting married next year. breaking up isnt an option really
>breaking up isn't an option
lol
Its not like im bursting to put my stuff across in the call, I don't have loads to talk about. Id rather she at least pretended we are talking about her stuff though, rather than her just having a conversation with herself while i listen
More because the issue is a daily phone call, not our actual interactions
Shes using you to cope / get rid of stress of work. Talk to her and tell her that this isnt very fair
Much like the user above said, just talk to her about it. And talk about it seriously. Fix your problems now before getting into a marriage which will start feeling miserable after a few months.
That doesn't matter - what matters is that you both feel like you're being heard. A conversation involves TWO people to contribute to it. If she's not giving you a chance to talk and won't stop clacking her teeth together long enough for you to do so, then she's just using you as a way to vent.
That gets old after a while. Try talking to her. She probably doesn't know it bothers you so much and will be willing hit the pause button every once in a while and wait for your input.
Cheat on her with some other thot. Make it very public knowledge you're cheating on her. Have sex in public with the thot.
When she confronts you about it, act as though it's no big deal, and that you're doing exactly what any other rational person would do in such a situation.
When she breaks up with you, send her a video of you and the thot very happy together to run it in her face.
Play with your noodle on your own so don't have problems with conversation.
Tell her you can only talk for 10-15 fag. If that doesn't work then go to a store and buy a strap on
realize it makes her happy and take the L
Either don't answer or hang up you noodle.
Or just put the phone down and let her talk to herself seeing as she doesn't need input
Get a gf with a communication style that matches yours.
Something a lot of people dont get is that you have to BOTH communicate/compromise in relationships but ALSO FIND SOMEONE SIMILAR ENOUGH TO YOU THAT THOSE COMPROMISES ARE FEW
relationships arent supposed to be this unhappy hell where you always feel like you're sacrificing
Just don't answer. Tell her there's a new work policy about staying off your phone so you turn it off now and forget occasionally to turn it back on for y'all's daily lunch call.
Or stop being a bitch about it and tell her what you told us.
It sounds like this is normally okayish for you, but something changed recently
Sounds a LOT like you're worried about your needs being addressed.
Its much more likely that something changed externally and thats causing you to feel insecure
And you're tryna fix something that dont need fixing
Try and review your life, see if anything fits the bill
90% of relationship issues people post on here can be potentially resolved by communicating the issues you're posting with your partner. This is no exception.
You can tell her that you're fine listening to her day so far and what she has to say, but you would appreciate to have some input in the call as well.
This
Talk to her.
I know that it will be embarassing, but be tough about it, she will like it, and she will respect you more.
I mean in the sense that you shouldn't be an asshole, but that you should speak calmly, assertively, and you tell her how it is that you would like to be treated, and that this shit bothers you.
If she keeps this up, tell her again, more forcefully.
If she STILL keeps this up, dump her.
