Communication is an important part of every healthy relationship. Although it may be challenging when we have something upsetting on our mind, in the end, taking the time to communicate can improve how we feel about our problems.
To talk with your boyfriend about your relationship, try to find a time when both of you are free for an extended period. For instance, this could be after work or during a meal. Ask him if "now" is a good time to talk about some things on your mind.
Next, it is often helpful to be straightforward and honest in regards to what you want to discuss. He may get frustrated or disagree with what you are saying, but this does not mean that it is impossible to find a solution. Turn the conversation back to what you feel and how you want to proceed in the future.
Overall, it may help you to identify any issues and specifically how it impacts your own thoughts and feelings. Look towards the future and brainstorm ways that you can move forward in the relationship in a way that makes both of you happier!

If there is something you want to talk about do it straight - just sit somewhere private where you'll not be bothered and calmly explain what's bothering you. Sharing and listening are essential for a relationship and they can strenghten it

Just tell him the truth and be honest. No one likes to be lied to. Ask him what he need and want from you and vice versa.

First off, I would talk to him in person. It's always better to talk face to face, especially in more serious conversations. Try to have your talk somewhere quiet and/or relaxing, like taking a walk, going to the park, going out to a small dinner, etc. Try to be open and listen. Both individuals need to be open and listen to one another for this encounter to be successful.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
