I have been involved in a relationship where the other person communicates very little, and is anti social. It is up to me to make all arrangements to do anything social ( and mostly this includes drinking alcohol)... If anything goes wrong, or I change my mind about going after making plans, my partner becomes very upset. I feel like I cannot talk to anyone or my partner gets upset. I am exasperated, and have decided I cannot deal with this anymore and have told him to get some counselling and to find a woman who is deaf and dumb to fulfill his needs. Because of my critisicms lately, and we just got back from a holiday, he spent 4 days not speaking to me, and that made me even more upset. I have had it and think we should part, and last night he disagreed, but today is in agreement as I am still upset with the whole situation. What should I do ? keep walking.... and find someone else to befriend (I am 63 and he is 62) I am divorced since 1991 and he is widowed for under 1 year.
