I have been dating my boyfriend for going on 4 years. We have lived together for the past year. Everything is pretty good aside from two things. One, his family and I dont talk. They have never been welcoming too me and have gone as far as to talk to other members of his extended family about me and how they dont want him and I together. This has hurt our relationship. This has been going on for 7 months (the not talking) but the family has never accepted me. I have asked my boyfriend to stick up for me to his family and ask them to be respectful and accept me. He has yet to do this. Its a constant struggle.
Next, our communication is lacking. He has never once in the past four years told me how he feels about me and our relationship and where he sees this going. While we live together and he tells me he loves me, it isnt the same as having a heart to heart. In turn, this makes me afraid of loosing him and it makes me think that he isnt in this for the long run. This then causes me to be always jealous and nervous about loosing him. Obviously, this causes arugments over silly petty things on my part bc I get so jealous. Communication is a big problem area for us and he just doesnt see it.
I dont know what to do about his family, about getting him to talk to me about committing and about just communicating in general. Any advice?
