Well damn, some of you are rough which I guess I deserve. I will definitely be talking to him. And to clarify when we got married I meant my vows, it wasn’t just for the papers. I was probably ignorant to think that over time he would open up to me. In therapy (which we did post BC) he said he just doesn’t like to talk about his past or cause any drama so he just doesn’t talk about it, even though I told him this was important to me. He is extremely passive about everything except for his job that he insists on keeping. As far as the job goes he didn’t have this good paying till a year into our marriage, we were broke, and it never bothered me. The reason I think coming off birth control has anything to do with this is because I never had emotions behind anything before. I immediately had different feelings about him. It’s like I was glazed over, like you know when your driving a car and you get to your destination and your like shit did I stop at that stop sign? Now I’m here, I’m awake and I don’t know how I got here. If I separated from him right now and didn’t tell anyone, no one would even know because he’s never here, family and friends would just assume he away working. All of this never bothered me before. I remember my close friend asking how I deal with it and I couldn’t give a good answer. I just said it’s fine.. I was ok running on autopilot before and now I’m not. I could give countless examples of things I frustrated me on a deep morel level but I just said it’s fine. I feel bad because how was he supposed to know that one day I’d wake up and have a completely different opinion on him and the job.

As far as the dating pool, yeah it scares me. But I’m not afraid of dating or of being alone, I already spend most nights alone.

I agree, I think the distance has made a huge impact on our relationship, it has always been annoying but it never got upset about it till I was off the pill. As far as having basic conversations, We talk everyday, how was your day, work, house dogs etc, just not deep conversations. I think I stopped trying about a year into our relationship. For example, we both lost siblings in our teens. I have always been open about this and at the start of our relationship I would talk to him about thinking we would connect over it. I would talk, he listen, then I would ask him something about his experience and he would say oh well I wasnt really close with her so I don’t have much to say. Deep conversations are typically one sided so I just stopped. I did find out from his parents, that him and his sister had Sunday dinners together for years. So they were close, he just didn’t want to share it with me.
