I (28 F) have an amazing boyfriend (26 M) and we’ve been together for almost three years. He is so kind, affectionate, funny, talkative and clever. But sometimes I want to have deep conversations but those don’t seem to flow naturally. When I ask him for example “What do you do when you are stressed?” “I think of you and I feel better” “What’s your favourite memory of us?” “All of our moments together are my favourite!” It’s always feels like he is default is “my love for you” “how cute you are” “how amazing you are”. And those answers are really sweet but when those seem to be the only answers given, it gets exhausting. When we hang out with his friends and family then I see more of his authentic side and answers and I want to know more of THAT side of him. And sometimes I do and some of our deepest conversations are when I’m crying about life stresses and he is so sweet during those moments. But I don’t want to feel like I have to be an emotional wreck for him to open up. There are a few times where he does open up and I cherish those and I would like those moments more. Am I not giving him the same emotional support that he gives me, maybe he is just generally not a deep conversations having person most of them time? Maybe the way I am asking him questions feels more like an interview than a natural conversation? I love him so much and he is my first serious relationship (and I am his) so I want to see what I can be doing better or how to look at my situation better.
