Relationships help: me and my boyfriend have nothing to talk about. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

me and my boyfriend have nothing to talk about.

;( he works during the day then goes to the gym if im not working we usually get to talk late nights maybe around 9 or 10 sometimes later. but he has to wake up early in the morning so we arnt on the phone long anyways. anyways we really just sit there asking the same basic ?’s like what are you doing, what are you thinking about, blablabla.. the only time we really talk talk is when we are arguing. i really just would love to have a normal conversation with him. sometimes i feel like he hates being on the phone with me and rather talk to someone else. how can i fix this? what can i do or say to get the conversations going?

Maybe he doesn’t want to be on the phone at all.You guys should set some one-on-one time with each other in person.That would probably help for starters.Also,ask him about his day when the conversation starts.Let him talk about himself.Don’t you guys share any common interests,hobbies,or friends?Those are all things you can talk to him about.

i agree… you should see each other more often. it’s nice that he works on his muscles, but maybe he could work on the relationship?

relationships are an investment. if he’s more invested into other things maybe the relationship wasnt meant to be.

that’s a conversation starter, “what the heck is going on here? we used to click really well and now we cant come up with anything to talk about”

good luck
