Hi Laura,

How old is your boyfriend? How long have you two been together?

I'm sorry that he thinks Covid is nonsense.

I hope your father is doing better.

Has he always been this way? I think he should listen to you when you need to talk about anything. Sorry he is acting this way.

Take a moment and write out in a journal everything.

What you shared here makes a lot of sense to me in that it reveals he is not willing to listen to you 'vent'.

Not facetime with you is a good choice, especially if he is having a hard time himself. It's not always about anyone else. Sometimes, people know they need to be alone.

The reason you need to express everything is so you can work out exactly what is bothering you, and it is probably a bunch of little things all thrown into a basket mixed up together.

Best wishes.

I mostly trust my Hubby when he says my words are nonsense to him. Does it matter why? Nobody can be my everything. There are other people I can talk to, such as the folks right here in this forum. I get back to him when the time is right.

Listening. . .

My husband is not my go-to person to talk about certain things. I think he’d say the same about me. Like if he wants to talk or rant about politics, I don’t want to really hear it. If I wanted to talk about certain things, he isn’t always the best person because we are emotionally really different.

I agree with the sentiment “no one can be my everything.”

I don’t know what your boyfriend means by your words being nonsense. Maybe he just needs to shut down a bit. Hard to know. I mean, my husband and I have been working from home since March/April. We are together all the time with no social outlet due to COVID. Everything out of both our mouths sounds like nonsense at this point.

Express stuff here or with others in your life in the meantime so you can sort stuff out.
