Good at and love but what about me? Lousy communicator or narcissist?
My bf of 6 mo. says he loves me daily, I have spoken to his family, met friends - he seems to adore me. We got close very quickly but the honeymoon is over and the reality of daily life has surfaced. I lead a busy life him not so much. He is affectionate, has lots of energy and many friends. His energy is driven by the chance to meet up with friends and party. I’m more reserved. Background info aside, the problem is I notice and am insulted by his lack of curiousity about me. I listen to him constantly, about his past, the country he left a few years ago (and misses) but there seems to be a genuine lack of interest in my past, my dreams/ideas/inspirations... I interject once and while but the conversation doesn’t seem to interest him the way I think it should and I end up feeling insulted. I asked him if he felt like he “knows me” and of course he said yes. Maybe he is satisfied by observing me and the "feeling" he knows me enough, or are men just lousy at communication in general?
