I have a girlfriend and I love her. I care about her and i like listening to her.

But sometimes, I just really really dont.

I either want silence or to talk to a stranger. Ive explained it before as me wanting to be in a conversation without having a responsibility to respond, but she just dont get it. Ive explained it to her but she still feels upset. I just feel so exhausted if I force myself to listen and react, and she doesnt want to be around our friends when talking like it always has to be her and me unless we are already with our friends and I started a conversation for both of us to get involved in. We also have a 6 friend group so being cut off while speaking occurs, so she gets pissed and quiet when this happens and stop trying to talk even when I circle back to her if someone cuts her off.
