we've been an item for close to a year now. I really care about him, but a lot of times it seems like he doesn't feel the same -- communication is really important to me (texting, phone calls, etc) because I love conversing with people, but he'll downright refuse to speak to me just because he "doesn't like talking" in any other way besides in person. the only time he'll contact me is if I've been away for extended periods of time and he can't see me and the conversations are fleeting even then. when I talk to other people, it's so easy and fun to communicate with them and I feel like I'm really being listened to; I can't think of one time when taking to my boyfriend wasn't a struggle. he's so hard to talk to, and that's the most basic element of all relationships. I'm worried that it won't improve because he's not really putting in the effort and that's the only way to solve the problem -- he sees it too, and knows it's his fault, but doesn't seem to try to rectify it. I just want to talk to him and we can't, and it's really starting to get on my nerves because sitting in silence or watching him on his phone just makes me feel unwanted. what do I do? should I end it over something as simple as not talking?
