OMG....where do these people come from?! Do they have so much to say? Do you think they call up everyone they know all day long, just so they can talk.
That's much worse than listening to silence.

Hahahaha....I have almost fallen asleep many times on him. I really have to struggle to keep myself awake.
Like I said, I tend to go off on him once in a while about this, then I feel bad for yelling...he gets sad....and I have GUILT.
Damn! I wish I wasn't so nice, sometimes!

We used to know a couple at another church..he would call me and yack
incessantly, then say, "so whats new with you?" I could tell as I talked that he tuned me right out. That irked me to no end! Do we miss this couple??...nope, not at all....

Yes. That's sad. Although, from reading your story, it's not too surprising. And yeah, I think it's quite selfish of someone to expect you to share things with them when they wont share with you.

It happens with my Dad
when he ever phones, which is only about once in 6 months or something and can you believe after all that time he still can not say anything to me. When I ask him what news he has for me, he says, agg, nothing much. I mean, really, you have no news ....nothing happened in 6 bloody months. Yeah, sure.... why not tell me that I do not want to share anything with you, I just feel obliged to phone. But at the end I am the one ending up talking and do not really want to talk to him. Why must I share my news with him if he does not want to do the same... no thank you. These days when we do talk, it is really awkward because I have given up always trying to keep the conversation going. I don't phone anymore and neither does he, which is quite sad, but that's life and that is never going to change.

All the time. Family and friends think I'm a good listener. I only listen
enough to get the gist and find other things to do while they blather on, like learning Tagalog or submitting myself to Chinese water torture.

It's fine. This is his way of "being near me" because he CAN NOT. It's most of the whole of our "time" together, except now an occasional email since he is back on the net.

Sunny, Just don't bother any more . Keep your cool he wants to
irritate you to see what you say and may be he will pick up a quarrel later.

Also, it wouldn't be that bad if he actually had something to say....but he doesn't. He can't talk to me, he has nothing to say most of the time. And this is about the whole of our relationship. Sad.

In the beginning of the relationship for about 3 years he called about 10 or more times a day, always wanting to know where I was, and what I was doing. He had no trust in me whatsoever. He was always insecure, paranoid and suspicious. Actually he's better than this now. But he still calls and says nothing....I think because he has nothing else to do.

It is really painful to know that such things are being done to you.
May be he wants to keep you away from something or somebody .

I've actually went off on him a few times for calling all damn day long, to say nothing, and he cut back a little....for a week or so.
