Pretty sure being in a long term relationship means you’ve moved on from small talk a long time ago.
I don’t want to talk with my wife about the weather, we have more important shit to worry about unless we’re literally having to dodge a tornado.
Small talk is for strangers.
Yup. And if we don't have anything more important to talk about, we'll just cuddle. Silence is absolutely fine with people you're comfortable with.
Actually I have this kind of conversations. I don't care so much about monkey problems
how do people who "hate small talk" plan on being in sustained meaningful relationships
That's the neat part--I don't!
I dont know how to make small talk so i just learned to make really good goat noises
You need to change your name to just_an_average_goat
I'd like to be your friend.
I always took it as an early red flag that the person is way too intense and stressful to be around if every conversation has to be a do or die dynamic.
It's not that it has to be that exciting. Just don't talk endlessly about shit that doesn't matter. You bought a new kind of mustard, I don't need a 20 minute explanation on why. To me, someone who can't exist without noise, or making noise is a red flag. That being said, early on in the relationship is different because you're still trying to get to know them.
As a person who doesn't really like to talk to most people and believe silence is fine... Let us have this do or die conversation.
Then return back to where you came from.
Talking philosophy is small talk.
Person: Hey you having a good morning?
Me: Depends... What does it mean to be a good person?
Yeah, that's pretty much how it looks like for me
If my partner can't handle silence, then there's something seriously wrong. We usually have something to do and if we don't we just cuddle up. There's no need for constant noise.
I've seen women like that on dating apps. Claim to hate small talk, include in their bio that if you just open with "hi" they'll unmatch you, and then when you put some thought into actually writing a response, ask a leading question about their interests or what they wrote in their profile, they unmatch you anyway.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Small talk stinks
Small talk stinks
See the young man in his new gown
Talking up to his bouffant drag
He says he loves you with flowers
Something that he's never had
A sentence should be like a serpent
Quick with a sting in its tail
