My partner and I always used to talk a lot. But lately he/she hardly talks with me at all, and never about anything meaningful. What could be wrong? How can I get him/her to talk like we used to?

Sometimes people find it hard to approach something difficult, especially with their partner. It could be something that he/she is unsure about, or maybe something they have done. Whatever it is, you’ll never know until he/she tells you.

You’ll need to decide if you should approach your partner to find out what is troubling him/her, or wait until they are ready to talk to you about it. Tell them how you are feeling and what you want to happen, making sure not to make accusations or slip into blaming your partner.
