What types of conversations do you have with your significant other?

Fantasy ones, alas. She’s real enough, all right, but she’s not my S/O.

Aw. That’s cute. :)

All kinds. Quick “I love you” chats, play fights that express our love through humor, and longer talks that tend to get pretty mushy. He’s not as mushy as I am, of course, but he’s been known to get me teary-eyed here and there.

My SO and I talk about almost everything. Sometimes I have things I am reluctant to tell him, but then I would not tell anyone. Usually, eventually I do tell him. These things are hidden worries that I carry around.

“Well well….......”
“Huhhuh….”
“What’s that?”
“Huh? No, nothing…, I didn’t say something….”

Everything, nothing is off limits.

It can range from simple “I love you” chat and flirty compliments, all the way up to debates on China’s one child policy and USA’s 2nd amendment, or deep introverted self observation.

Having said that, that is not how it has been in the past with other girls.

Are we starting the divorce in March or April?

Mundane ones like “what do you want for dinner?”

And he talks incessantly about world war 2 tanks (he’s a wargamer). It’s a great cure for insomnia.

All kinds of everything.

Thanks for the question, it is one of those that makes me think a little.

Most of what we talk about is the mundane things that make up being a couple, “What do you want for supper?”, “Can you turn that down?” “Your mom called”, things like that. We have been together a long time now and know each others likes, dislikes, wants and needs and have reached the point where we are comfortable with silence and just each others company.
We don’t talk about work, she is still unhappy with hers and I am bored with mine, We don’t really discuss topics that have deeper meaning to ourselves, hers are more practical and mine esoteric so any discussion is fairly superficial. We do talk about vacations; what we are planning and where we have been and done.
Right now our major topic of conversation is when I am going to get the taxes done and filed and discussing the friggin’ IRS bullshit required to fill out their *^&^%^^&$##@# forms.

Everything and anything….and sometimes nothing.

Nether of us have any previous experience to compare ours to. We are basically each other’s first.

Everything.

What a strange question. Do most people not talk about most things with their partners?

You name it, we talk about it. Sometimes its very lovey dovey, other times its deep and meaningful. Sometimes we’re cranky with each other. Other times we are laughing our socks off. Sometimes we just say nothing because there’s no need to say anything. We’re best friends as well as lovers.

After 20+ years we talk about everything from bowel movements to religion. Now he’s calling me to help him re wire the laundry room.

I don’t think I’d want to be in a relationship with someone that I couldn’t/didn’t talk to about everything in my life. I’d also hate to be in a relationship with someone I couldn’t have deep stimulating conversations with that occasionally challenged my ways of thinking causing me to re-evaluate my views.

Anything, everything, and nothing at all. We even really enjoy getting into heated debates with each other. I usually win.

My fiancé and I have lived together for 3 years now, and he is a foodie that loves to cook; so our most common conversation is, “What do you want for dinner?”

We were friends before we started dating, and we had deep conversations about life, love, philosophy, religion and politics then.

Our compatibility and chemistry were string, so we decided to become romantic partners. We discussed past relationships, past sexual experiences, what we want from a relationship, financial histories and attitudes, how to divvy up money and housework, and pretty much every topic imaginable.

Feeling complete trust and openness between partners is essential to building a long-term relationship and developing unconditional love.

@augustlan…says the woman :P

We talk about everything. Personal stuff, future plans, whatever is happening in the world at the time, our jobs, whatever is irritating us a the time, opinions on political stuff etc etc. I don’t think any subject is off limits. Like @hearkat my boyfriend and I were very good friends before anything else and our relationship started through easy and often thoughtprovoking conversation!

We talk about everything – even though mom thinks I should put a lid on it…oh yeh…I tell my mom ALMOST everything too but what I cant tell her I tell to my SO. I’d say we are fairly crazy with the kind of info we disclose to one another…but then again Im transperant to him ;)

Another thing my fiancé and I both love about us is that we can sit and say nothing at all for extended periods of time, no matter where we are.

@hearkat It is so nice when you can do that!

We talk about the daily logisticals, e.g., “how’s your day?”, etc., as well as the usual family stuff (Daughter will spend night at friend’s). We still talk about religion, politics, news of the day, and yes, we still tell the other how much we love.

We’ll celebrate 25 years in September.
