nothing to talk about ... is it a problem?

Fortunately I have never experienced that with my boyfriend. If he is silent, then there are two possible reasons: he is exhausted or that he is seriously thinking about something. I don't mind this silence, because I'm comfortable either way. Getting comfortable even in silence is, i think, a kind of bonding as well. you don't have to force yourself to talk. my advice: take a break from talking and don't meet or call each other for awhile. Do something else then I'm sure you will have a lot of things to talk about after that.

My and wife had been together for almost 20 years now. Occasionally, we spend time out of the house, sit on a bench, and just enjoy each other's company even without speaking out a word, just enjoying the moment knowing and feeling the presence of each other, a kind of reassuring strong bondage of our souls.

I myself am an example of that. I can hardly have anything to talk about in the surrounding of strangers, e.g. my parent's friends, even my friend's friends (which I don't know before) but I am talkative with my best friends / close classmates. Is it a problem or do all people have such "problem"?

good day to you eunife, i've been through with that same situation. wherein, i have nothing to say and same with my partner, as he does not have anything to say to me. as our whole day was so quiet then. that, both of us feel that we just need a little silence and keep our mouth shut. with regards to that, i dont see any problem, perhaps, we just meet on one thing, that is to keep quiet for at least one day.

It depends on the situation. First, if you and your partner have been in a relationship for a long time already, then it is just merely nothing because maybe reasons were not very serious and it is just normal if silence comes a long. If one is thinking something, a problem maybe, one would be silent. On the other hand, if the relationship is still new, then the very reason for this is that you haven't got to inter correlate with your different interests. One must start a topic and not just let the silence go on.

Sometimes it's good to have the silence and other times it will mean something is wrong. We really don't need to communicate 24/7 everyday with just anything, so maybe he is just alittle burnt out with things. Take time to rest and not give up on the communication. It is OK to just stop talking about stressful things too once in awhile.

When you have been in a relationship with somebody for a long time, you might find that you don't have much to say to them because you just say the same things day in and day out. However, if you are comfortable with them, then the silence should never be awkward. If you're finding that it is, then obviously something isn't quite right and you need to take the time to think about your relationship and about the things that you could change in it. Sometimes we just have to admit that our partners aren't the ones who we want to spend the rest of our lives with.

Some people do not talk not necessarily because they hate the person but for the reason it is difficult to put into words. I have read stories where you have a talkative boyfriend when drunk and he hurts you and make drama but be thankful if the boy is quiet because he's not the outrageous type. I also think silent people are careful and mindful unless you hit them at the wrong part and they revenge.

Those moments are there and I think everyone in a relationship has experience such an awkward moment. It does not happen every day, unless there is something pressing that needs 'time-alone' thing to think your mind through. One can not say 'there is nothing more to talk about' when you both have a separate life to live. Everyone encounters different hurdles in live, and that should be the base of a new chat. By the way communication in a relationship involves many things.., leave alone daily stories and other verbal talks, it goes beyond that.

Omg, are you sure you're still in a relationship if there's an awkward silence? A couple will always have something to talk about. They can share or discuss anything, or talk about anyone they know. I'm sorry, but I think you both don't have anything in common anymore. :( If you still want to maintain the relationship, why don't you try to talk about this "awkward silence"?

Yes. Sometimes I had those moments with my friends. But it is quite easy to deal with since we are close friends and we just laugh then we keep on talking. :)

Problem is that you force things. In your mind you're like "I HAVE to talk about something", it doesn't work like this, it's not something you MUST do but feel like doing. In relationships there are lots of things you can do beside communication, but it's important you do them all with feeling. Besides it's not hard to talk about what you did today (if anything) or just grabbing her/him and do something together, like a walk, and while walking you can say something about weather, ask where she would like to go, ask if she's hungry and take her to eat, bring her to an awesome place and surprise her, etc. Really, I could write an endless list of things you can do/talk about, but it's all up to you. Good luck.
