I Am Afraid to Tell Him What I'm Worried About

Before I knew I could tell him anything. Now I think I can tell him anything.

The distance, and the lack of communication. For years. We're both passionate and stubborn and discussions can get heated.

He irritates me and frustrates me so much, still after all these years. I could win an award for "best at sulking angrily on the passenger seat", or on the other side of the screen. So I say "whatever", to irritate him back, I know it gets on his nerves. It's passive aggressive and I don't like it but it's partially liberating. We're like children.

The truth is I'm terrified to tell him. I need to know I can tell him anything, not just think I can.

There's really no way to [b]know[/b] until you tell him.

But if you tell him and he doesn't handle it well, won't that teach you something about him and the relationship?

Sulking and passive aggressiveness only accomplishes one thing - making the other person believe you are not really a grownup, and needn't be taken seriously.
