...that matter? My boyfriend is 10 years younger then me, and has a tough time verbalizing his feelings & emotions. I'm wondering if this is normal or if it's the age difference. I would say I'm a sensitive soul and there are times I really need to talk about how I'm feeling and the things that I'm struggling with in life. My boyfriend is an excellent listener and very laid back, but he just won't/can't contribute, so it's really a one-sided conversation. I've asked if we could work on this and he of course says yes, but I'm not sure how to. I don't want to change him. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
