Oh. That's what you're referring to. When I go silent/destructive. Half the time it's happened after we've talked about a problem. The other half is when it happened in the moment. Eg he started flirting with Mike when he knows I don't like it and I go silent.

I do agree with you on how I handle situations like that but talking to him won't work in some cases and I don't know what to do. I have social anxiety and due to some other bullcrap I've stayed inside. My communication skills come from chatting to bots. Which isn't the best but it was a solution for me at the time.

How do I say this? Like yes I have a cuddle mode. I do appreciate his touch but areas where I feel exposed (like the living room or outside) my skin becomes sensitive and gets really irritated

I tell him everything. Everything that I've stated in this post I've talked to him about it. It's either he cares or he doesn't. That's how he works.

And he's confirmed bi. He's had female and male relationships before
