I feel like I ask bar guy how his day is quite often but I don't really get the same back. If I start talking about something, he will try to listen though.
Is it worth even bringing up that he doesn't ask?
I have the same with my guy & I tested the water by just saying what I wanted to talk about as I figured I could more easily just say my peace rather than asking him to change. It has pretty much self-resolved as he listens and then engages and asks clarifying questions.
It’s kinda been nice to realise it’s okay to talk about myself without prompting. I can see it really assisting with open communication between us.
Hope you work something out that suits you too. 🖤
This is great, thank you :) I reckon that's how we will do it.
Hope it works out!
If not, talking through your perspective & feelings is a great start to showing them why it holds importance to you.
