I am breaking down as I type this and I guess just needed to vent.
Loving someone and being in a relationship with someone whose first language/culture is different than yours is so challenging. Communication is a key factor in a relationship and it kills me that I feel like I can't properly express myself to him. The love is there and I feel it but a successful relationship needs more than love. Sometimes I feel like he truly doesn't understand me when I'm expressing my emotions even when he says he does. Has any one else ever dealt with this?
For clarification, his(28m) first language is Spanish and mine(27f) is English. He does know English well but I still strongly feel like there is a language barrier when I'm trying to have in depth conversations. We have been on and off for 3 years.
Tl;dr - boyfriend and I have a very hard time communicating in depth because of language barrier.
