Is there anything you don't feel comfortable talking about with SO?

Haha. I have coeliacs and ulcerative colitis and sometimes I just want to talk about poop things. I don't think that he'd be uncomfortable talking about it but I feel weird bringing any of that stuff up!!

I don't think there's anything that we can't talk about to be honest. We're both comfortable sharing things with each other, although I'm more open about worries than he is. The only thing we both try not to broach is the distance and much it hurts us both. Whenever either of us mention it, we both get upset. It's the "awkward" subject.

He had a difficult childhood, his dad left when he was a toddler and didn't participate in his life. Then some years later he passed away. I'm hesitant when asking questions about it because I know he regrets it and I don't want to tap into something too painful if he's not ready to share. But he never had a problem answering anything I asked about that.
He was also bullied as a kid, now this is something he doesn't want to talk about. I don't pressure him. He's put it behind him and why pick on something that's in the past but still evokes painful memories?
I don't think partners should share everything, some thoughts and feelings are meant to be private. I don't feel bad if he's not ready to disclose something personal, I know it has nothing to do with me or how much he trusts me.
As for me, the only question I refuse to answer is about weight...

We are pretty comfortable with everything, but he has never shown interest in my past relationships and doesn't really like hearing about them.

mmmm...
The age difference.
I feel uneasy talking about it...
I just prefer to forget about it than talking about it.
I'm sure in a few years i'll laugh about it and it won't bother me anymore.
But for now, I prefer to skip the subject.♡ ~~~~ 'When you find something worth fighting for, you never give up' ~~~~ ♡

Lots if things!- I'm sure some of them I should talk to him about but I'm extremely aware of not being a needy gf so I think I over compensate sometimes. Examples being when I get built up over things that are really silly and totally in my head (jealousy and the like) and then issues with me he doesn't need to know about- having a fat week/month/year!, insecurities about my personality.
I feel it would just burden us too much if I brought every little Niggle I had everytime. But each to their own!

Although we both can talk about anything to each other, I've noticed that he's a little hesitant when it comes to religion. He is very much interested in it, and knows much about it, while he is atheist. He has lost a lot of friends and respect from people due to this, and he gets into many arguments with his very Christian family about it, but he believes so strongly in it that he is sticking to what he believes. He is afraid that the constant talking and hatred towards religions will either scare me away from him or get me annoyed.
I, on the other hand, get uncomfortable talking to him about my past and (unfortunately) some sexual ideas. My past has scared people away from me and changed what they think of me, and that's the absolute last thing I want to happen. And when it comes to the sexual ideas, he'll ask me if there's anything I would want to try, and I get nervous telling him the things I think about. Again, it ties into the past problems.
But even though we may feel uncomfortable with our own specific topics of discussion, we still spit it out to each other and the other one of us is always very supportive about itLast edited by Courtney:); September 29, 2012, 06:30 PM.

My "monthly subscription." I don't know why, but using "I'm PMSing!" as a reason for anything just seems like a cop out to me. Even if it's true. LOL. Besides, if he doesn't know when...(LD and all) my [constant] chocolate cravings are covered!

After 10 years we can talk about pretty much anything, however I don't really like talking about guns or the war with him because he is like true blood american and I don't support those things at all and it just frustrates me haha

Well, he had a rough childhood, his dad left when he was little and in the 13 years we've known each other, he won't talk about it. He told me bits and pieces here and there, but that's pretty much off limits. I can't talk about my parents divorce with him, or anyone, because it impacted me in such a way that I just can't open up about it.

There isn't really anything that I can think of that I can't talk to him about, there are just some subjects that I avoid. Some with him and then some with everyone in general.
Like I avoid bringing up any conversations about his father unless he starts them (his father passed away a couple years ago), I don't really divulge the whole "Hey, did you know that I can see auras and things if I focus.. or sometimes even if I don't really focus?" because he doesn't really believe in things like that. But it's not that I feel uncomfortable talking to him about anything, it's just that some subjects are never really discussed because we don't really discuss them with anyone. There are some things that I should probably open up to him about more, but we still have time for that. (=
