My girlfriend and I are in a rough patch; we are currently three weeks into a break from our relationship. Though we're taking some time apart, we agreed to talk to each other during this time, just to discuss what we were feeling.
The problem is, I cannot talk to her about anything. It's not that I don't want to, or I'm afraid of what she'll think; I want so much to tell her what's on my mind. I physically can't talk about anything that matters with her. Whenever I try, a wall comes up, and the words don't come out. I've tried and tried, but every time, it's the same: I say something to start out with, then it's silence. And I can't help it.
If I don't get past this, and start communicating with her, I'm afraid we aren't going to be able to make it, that it'll be the end of us.
