    How can I make my girlfriend speak to me about her problems ?
    I don't want to MAKE her talk to me about her problems..
    I want her to be more comfortable with me
    She talks to my best friend and cries , she talks to him about her problems..
    I am really afraid she will dump me for him , and she said he is like a brother to him,

    She said she can't talk to me about her problems , and she never cried in front of me
    But why?
    I want these kind of emotional talks..
    I think they can bring us closer..

    I just need help..

    I want my girlfriend to tell me about her problems... and not to other people
    It makes me really angry and jealous that others comfort her and not me :(
    What can I do to make her comfortable with me?

    We are together for 4 months ,
    Its all good we really love each other.
    She tells me everything about her..
    But she never talks about her problems.. family problems
    Like fights with her parents and such
    She is 16.5 years old
    And I'm 18 years old

    She tells my best friend and its really bothering me

    Has she known your best friend longer than she's known you?

    She said I don't listen to her..

    But the real thing is that I beg her to talk to me

    I always listen when she talks.. I'm not the one that talks a lot
    I'm mostly a listener

    She doesn't talk to me about her problems and never gets emotional , she never talks to me and cries.. I want to comfort her and make her happy.. but she doesn't talk to me and its really making me unhappy

    Hmmm...

    I'm sorry, amicon! I hadn't explored the other thread yet - usually do that. But, this seemed to be an isolated type of question here just having to do with communication.

    Thanks!

    I don't want to say you were a rebound.. but that idea is there. This is dangerous territory. How long after her ex did you start dating? This she have enough time to heal and grieve ?
    I want to say the following... if she can't decide between you and him and if she loves you both, something is wrong. I do not believe in that sort of thing. You cannot love two people equally, like you cannot like two types of food equally.
    The hell with her, she is leaving you hanging. Run forest Run... she doesn't know what she want, so show her what she lost

    I'm better than her ex in every way
    Its just I'm different religion
    She doesn't want to be with someone that the chances of a future with him are low , yet , she doesn't want to dump someone she truly loved...
    Her ex doesn't love her like I do..
    I treat her like the last girl on earth, and that's why she can't decide
    Her ex and her have the same religion...
    I hope some can help her decide

    I told her that there is a future..
    And that the only thing in life the is sure to happen is death..
    She said she will think about it.
    And here I am waiting

    She said that because she didn't even try talking to me..

    She said she is scared that I will dump her if I know about her family problems..
    But I told her its O.k
    But still she won't tell me..
    So I gave her a solution , I told her to start telling me first using
    Instant messengers
    Then on the phone
    And eventually face to face..
    And she said OK.

    Its communication skills and a little psychology here. I was this type of person, and to make me talk about my problems is to talk about your problems and smartly relate it to mind, have to be smart. Its hard sometimes... this is a hard question, but the best you can do is to confess to her and take things slowly and smartly.

    I think she is just scared
    She thinks I'll bale on her if I hear about her problems because her other ex's refused to talk about this kind of problems and were offended..
    But I'll be the happiest man alive if I can make my g.f happy , I will never bale on her
    But she just doesn't believe me on this subject..
    I want her to believe me..

    It's not unusual for someone in a close relationship with another to want to only seek out the happy things about which to talk and enjoy rather than have sad or bad issues that might only be the problem of one of the parties in the relationship, "cloud" the relationship in some way by those things being a part of the relationship.

    Oftentimes, the person who is having personal problems or issues will seek out someone to speak with about them with whom they're not all that personally involved.

    I think that you can make her happy just by being there for her, if she needs you to be, and requests your involvement, and being the person with whom she can have a good time without having the burden of other issues that might be unpleasant having an influence on the good times that the two of you can have together.

    I'm just confused..
    I talk to her about everything
    My problems with my parents , about my job , etc..
    She talks about everything besides our problems
    She told me I don't talk about my problems because I don't want to face my problems...
    And she doesn't talk to me about her problems at home

    I hope it will change soon , because she is starting to like my best friend and that's very bad in my opinion

    I've already addressed why she might not talk about her problems that she has. Did you read what I wrote, please?

    Thanks!

    So not only has she still feelings of some kind for her ex-now into the mix you re adding: she might be starting to like your friend?
    Don't you think a really serious talk about where this is going is in order?

    Are we going around in circles here, amicon?

    Now, the communication thing seems to be on the edge of going into something deeper...

    And, would seem to be getting into the aspects of the other thread.

    Thanks!
