How can we improve the communication in our relationship?

Question - (6 July 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 7 July 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 months. We love eachother very much. We are young, and planning to get engaged in a few months. We both always wanted a long engagement. We are planning to be engaged for about 4 or 5 years. We know what we want. Somedays are great, and other days we fight a lot. When we first started our relationship, we never fought. But now we argue and get upset over little things. We used to be able to communicate, but now its hard. We feel like we are both stressed out, because our families. Both of the families we coem from have a lot of drama, and don't particularly like eachother. I was wondering if you had any ideas of things we could do to try and communicate again. We have been trying, but nothing we think of seems to work.

Also, we were talking tonight, and he feels like we are growing apart. I said maybe we shouldn't have sex for a while, and try to focus on eachother, and our interests. Learn about eachother again. Do you think thats a good idea? If so, how should we go about doing it? And if not, do you have any suggestions of what we could do?

lovebaby126 agony auntthats my exact situation. thank goodness its over. but hun first off probably sex at the beginning of the relationship is hard to overcome not doing after you get use to it..trust me. and well see the fact that you have the courage to tell him not to have sex so you can comunicate shows that you really care and he should go with it if he wants your relationship to work. My boyfriend and i have decided to wait to do anything til were 18 giving us two years to connect more emotionally and it's working amazing and our relationship has never been better. it's hard not to want to do those fun things but now we slip every once in awhile but it makes it more special..just make sure you always talk about anything before you do it.. it always makes ever situation so much better

love,

lovebaby
