Dammit I just realized I typo'ed the topic title. Relationships is what it was supposed to say. Spellcheck just doesn't work with these types of things...
Anocxu: Yes, I figured it would take more than one book. That's what why I put books
Darius: I would say he's a few levels above me really. He's the one who wants us to share everything and he'll be disappointed when I don't want to talk about things. The problem, if there is one, in the relationship usually is my "fault". Which comes back to communication, your next point. His communication is great, mine is the one lacking. I'll keep too much to myself and not tell him my wants/needs with certain things areas or topics. It all comes down to embarrassment. I fear what he'll think of something I say or how I feel when I really have no evidence to support him behaving poorly or not taking my feelings into consideration. I never really had people respond positively to my true thoughts or feelings before (outside of therapy) so I'm always guarding myself against potential ridicule.
So um...to answer your question: my communication kind of sucks.
Merididannight: Thanks for the suggestions on books. They look interesting and I appreciate the recommendations.
