knime32 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 So I've been off and on with my boyfriend for the last 7 years. Most of our problems revolve around communication or lack there of. I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for developing healthy communication in a relationship. I've taken the step to get professional help with my inability to communicate and have made significant strides and have gotten a lot better at opening up about my feelings. My boyfriend on the other hand is still struggling immensely with it. Instead of just saying he has a problem or isn't happy with something, he shuts down and runs away (causing us to be off and on). What are some helpful tools to start communication, to help a partner feel safe and comfortable to open up and share feelings, etc. and then healthy habits that can be used to continue communication? I'm afraid that if this doesnt get fixed soon, our otherwise happy and healthy relationship will be thrown into the trash for no reason. Its a shame to think about it, but this problem needs a solution now while we're young!
