My husband keeps communication (imo) very surface level. He has never really initiated deeper, important topics/conversations etc. Across the board, from silly little thoughts in passing or important things, even REALLY important things that he's chose not to discuss. We've talked about this so many times over the years. I've always maintained the angle of, "it's critically important to me for the health of this relationship that this improves".

Last night he tells me he's going to a training class today for work. I ask about it and he says it's 2 hours away, scheduled from 9-5 so he'll be home late, wants to pack a lunch (he usually doesn't) etc.

This morning I wish him luck with his class and he says, "It's just a guy at one of the stores talking about XYZ, it won't take long."

I get that he could be nervous or downplaying it as no big deal but it confuses me because it doesn't align with what he said last night (for such a minor situation). I just wish he would open up a bit more so I can see the full picture?

Last night was the first time hearing about this, it's unusual for his job and he's never had a training like this before. I just feel like if he gave me a little more information about his day/things going on, etc, I would feel more clued in.

Obviously this is a SUPER small situation but with all the other scenarios just like this it makes me wonder if I'm overbearing or expecting too much.
