Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : My boyfriend and I have very different personalities. The thing we both have in common is we're both stubborn and opinionated. The problem is our opinions are VERY different on just about anything. Politics, spirituality, morals, relationships, etc. The issue is I LIKE talking about different opinions but he doesn't. Part of the reason why I liked him so much before we were dating was the fact that he was so different than anyone else I'd known.

Occasionally, I try to bring up my own thoughts and opinions on stuff that I know we'll debate about. I know he hates it and sometimes he'll throw more personal jabs out there which can hurt. I've tried just keeping my mouth shut and sticking to neutral topics but our relationship is just so boring without any deeper discussions. He's fine with the 'how was your day?' 'whats new with (friend)?' type of discussions but I'm not, at least not all the time. 

I've considered the idea that maybe we're just not compatible and maybe we'd be better off apart and I've tried talking to him about it but I just get accused of not being patient with him (he has temper issues) and liking to argue about things that don't even matter. We've been together over two years and yes, I feel in that time he has changed incrementally, but it's still no guarantee of the future. I know our end goal is marriage and we've brought it up but I can't marry someone who doesn't interest me and leaves me feeling drained and biting my tongue. 

So am I the asshole for bringing up controversial topics even though he prefers small talk?
