Idk if anyone else experienced this but I find that in my current relationship, I’m the one responsible for starting a conversation/keeping a conversation going like 90% of the time.

My bf blames that he’s “not a big talker” but I don’t think that’s an excuse to rarely ever have anything to say. Like is your life that boring that you can’t think of anything to talk about?

Whenever I ask him to initiate a conversation he ALWAYS talks about the weather. Idgaf about the weather. We’ve been dating for over a year and all you can think to talk about is the friggen weather???

We only see each other once or twice a week due to our busy lives so it’s starting to bother me that he never has anything to talk to me about... it’s always me that has to do the talking.

If I’m ever feeling tired and I’m not as chatty, he thinks I’m mad at him because we’ll be sitting in silence (aka if I don’t talk then there is no talking cuz god forbid he initiate a convo)

Do any of y’all see this as a potential red flag long term? It’s making me nervous (kinda) and whenever I bring it up he gets annoyed and says “I’m not a big talker”.

But... communication is key, no?
