All I can say in short without repeating it all again is that 'communication' is the key here. Good communication can prevent or cure any misconceptions, misunderstandings, assumptions, confusions and fears and wondering what the other meant, etc...
It sounds like he isn't really telling you whats on his mind, what thoughts he has that are bothering him and neither are you. You both may think you are communicating well but from what I've read so far, I'm led to beleive that most of your conversation is superficial or at the very best, surface level like 'how was your day at work, how come you didn't text last night" and a shrug for an answer, or having the finger pointed at someone else or you as the problem or issue is not good communication skills. Your current generation grew up with iphones, and tablets and even a lap top is ancient technology to you. I was around and grew up when there was no cells, no pc's and we actually learned to communicate face to face with friends as we saw them, not over distance by cells, and todays generation was robbed of the experience of knowing how to hold a normal face to face conversation with anyone so that now universities are offering classes to teach students how to communicate.
It is vital that the two of you learn some effective communication skills before your other relationship issues have a chance of being solved. You can't make him learn, you can only suggest it. But hunt at the libary or in bookstores for books on learing how to communicate effectively with others. Ask the librarian or clerk for what you are looking for. Search you tube for video's that explain how to do so. With good communication, at best you will solve all your issues with him and both realize you just didn't understand each other but do now...or one of you or both may discover now that you are communicating effeciantly that the two of you are not right for each other at all, no matter what feelings your heart has, and that it is better to split up peacefully and move on to find the one who is right for you. Hope this helps you. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
