i don't talk with her about the big problems in my life. i have to admit i haven't tried. i am a little shy about talking about that stuff with real people. ironically, i am not shy about having it on cyberspace for anybody to rifle around in. my dad told me that girls just like to have fun. so far this advice has worked. i don't want to break that by telling her things which might worry her or piss her off. i feel like its essential to a relationship to talk though... and like i don't even really do small talk. so we sort of sit there, then like kiss. i mean thats not so bad actually. idk a more communicative person would tire me out and be boring so wtf am i thinking.

I think it's important to communicate with your girl friend about what's going on in your life. Sharing feelings and being emotionally vulnerable can really help your relationship become stronger.

Some things to consider:

Choose an appropriate time, keep the topic brief and light, and give her an opportunity to provide input (don't just rant).

Good luck!

It's never too late to start. It will get easier with time. I believe that you can do this with time and practice. If there's a will, there's a way. :)

When something is bothering my boyfriend I like to know what it is. I don't mind if he cries over it because I want to be there to comfort him and be supportive. Even though girls like to have fun they also like to feel like they are needed and to have my boyfriend talk to me about things that he cant talk to anyone else about makes me feel that way. It also makes me feel like he trusts me.
