We sit next to one another in the living room with an end table between us either both of us on our phones or me on my phone n him watching tv. He ignores me until he wants something or needs to complain about something. Every once in awhile he will talk to me about plans for our future but that is very rare. That's how it goes.

If In am bold enough to open my mouth without him first saying something - I risk being yelled at.
