My boyfriend likes to talk to me on the telephone 4 times a day, and I like it too. Seems like we both need it. Before he did most of the talking. Now he realized it and tells me I am cold because I don't say a lot, and gets offended. And it's true, I run out of things to say very quickly. And not because I am cold, but because not a lot of interesting stuff happens every day, and as far as talking about feelings, I cannot express my feelings in words very well, it comes out awkward and unnatural. So, there seems to be a problem, and I have no idea what to do. He tells me he wants me to call, but when I call he is mostly silent.

Can the two of you spend more time together physically? If you can't express yourself so well with words, try to spend time together in a different way than on the phone. Also, explain the way you work to him, like you just did here. Hopefully he will understand.

tell him that you just aren't as comfortable talking to people over the phone as you are face to face, and that he really should have better manners than to call you so much when he doesn't have anything to say and he knows that you don't do phones.

not trying to be mean, just practical
