Its soooooooooooooooooo weird not to have what to talk about with each other ._.
Cmon tell her about those frigging basketball kicks! What the heck? Is your life that dull you have nothing to share with your mate? Are you not reading? Not experiencing anything everyday? I'm on the phone like 10 times a day and messaging my gf if anything interesting comes up. And its not like we cant shut up and just lay beside each other comfortably. We just HAVE TONS of things to talk about. Hope that wont change

The longer I lived with my girlfriend, the more pleasant silence became. We'd sit down to eat at a restaurant and share a half dozen small exchanges over the meal and be comfortable. We didn't feel the need to fill the air out of boredom or anxiety.
As an earlier poster paraphrased, there's a delightfully quiet scene of Pulp Fiction where Ulma Thurman's character expresses exactly the stance I have: The moment when you know a relationship has settled into a place that'll last is the moment two people, "Can shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably share silence."
This is a nice little narrative around that.
