Relationship. Problem solving.
Problems in relationships are normal. In general, I'm happy with my relationship and will not loose it. But there appeared problems, that I do not have a clue how to solve, because I can't even start talking about them, my girlfriend gets angry. I won't write too much in this thread, so you probably will be confused or won't understand everything.
An example of problems:
1) Asking questions
me: *a lot of questions*
she: *busy, knitting* - Do not ask me questions, it annoys me.
me: - How do I show you then, that I'm interested about something?
she: -You won't. I'll tell you what I feel like telling you.
So I felt like I should blame and hate knitting because I won't feel like running home from my work, so I can sit silent and watch her knit and not ask any questions. For me it looks like if I started to play games in my free time and tell her not to bother me, which I don't do.
One of the questions I asked was about her psychologist. In my country it's rare to go to psychologist, people mostly tell their problems to each other, to their friends, ect. My girlfriend represents a different culture and it's common for her not to tell me about her problems or not to talk about them, which gets me jealous. I don't care if she spends time with guys, it doesn't bother me at all, but I can't handle that there's a person that's allowed to know about things I don't.
So those were the examples of my problems. There might be more, anyone could have them.. But.. The question is, how do I even start to resolve them if she doesn't want me to mention it, because she'll get angry, annoyed, won't want to talk to me for a while, ect.
I would be sad if things kept going this way.
P.S. She's a very nice person, I'm lucky I found her, if you don't think this way, it's probably because I wrote here only our problems, without mentioning good things.

1) communicate with her when she is not knitting or when you are both knitting. by the way, people who are of skilled knitting could talk freely. OR, you should tell her and let her understand communicate with you is more important than with knit.
2) to be a professional psychologist. OR, you have to allow this( different living ways) to happen. i suppose what you need more is sense of security than to be a psychologist. so back to question 1), if you don't communicate well, you will lose your sense of trust.
anyhow, i think it's very, very good that you discover the problems and trying to solve them!! good luck with you :D
