He is divorced from a long marriage before we met, more than 35 years. He used to following along what she wanted. I prefer to have someone who has more say in the relationship. He was really on board with this and seemed pleased as this shows interest in his thoughts and feelings.
I feel this is causing some problems in our relationship. While it is great we are really open with one another, I feel some details are better left unsaid. How do I explain to him so he won't "forget" not to share so much.
Sometimes he gives me too many details. He says he isn't sure what he can and what he can not say because I always encourage him to say what is on his mind. I do recognize this and have said probably because he is over zealous, he isn't paying attention too much to everything he is saying. I don't want to make this excuse as a crutch for him to fall back on.
How can we get through this? I need positive suggestions
