I probably do like 70-80% of the talking. I overthink things and I'm always trying to put them into words to explain.
There's been more silence lately though. Like he'll ask me a question that I don't want to answer and I'll leave long pauses as I'm trying to figure out what I'm willing to say or what I can bring myself to say.
And I've been leaving silence after my answers more often instead of continuing on the topic because it's hard for me to talk about, so he's had to ask more questions.
I sometimes wish he would ask more questions about certain topics, because volunteering information makes me feel even more ashamed. I won't lie to him, but I will omit stuff, so there are things I could only really tell him if he asked, especially if he asked me to confirm or deny things that I can't really bring myself to say.
Or that he'd talk more so I'd know more about what he was thinking. I always fear the worst. He tends to not really tell me what he thinks unless I explicitly ask though. It's mostly him trying to get me to question how I think and feel, not him telling me his perspective. Sometimes I wish there was more reassurance.
