I am not good at talking and I know this. I am also aware that communication is part of a relationship. For the past few days things have been tense between me and my boyfriend because I don't open my mouth and talk to him. Few examples: I'll go to my neighbors house and won't ask him if it's ok or if he has anything planned. I seem to just go off and do things without going to him first. I guess he just had enough yesterday because he sat up half the night screaming and cursing at me. He also says that I act too tough and manly and it feels like I'm challenging him. He will get upset and tell me he is going to "**** me up". And I always laugh at him and say "whatever, you say the same thing everyday. We both know you won't and can't". But I mean that's just how I am and I don't back down to anyone. It's confusing though because last night when once again he was supposedly gonna "**** me up" I just kept my mouth shut and that pissed him off even more.
