Hi there! I'm happy you've reached out for help. I hope my input can provide some support and assistance.
You might feel confused, helpless, and stuck in your current relationship, as well as a strong desire to be understood and supported.
From what you've said, it seems like you know that although your desire for communication and exchange in your current intimate relationship isn't being met, your other needs and expectations in the relationship may have been met. This is probably why you haven't chosen to end the relationship because of the cost of silence. In other words, you're also worried that if you start a new intimate relationship with a new person of the opposite sex, your other needs may not be met.
If you're struggling with communication in your current relationship, you can try to see if your current relationship can meet your needs for communication and exchange. For example, if you learn some communication and exchange skills and how to manage relationships better, and you actively work on improving communication and exchange in your current relationship, you could find a way to have a happier, more harmonious relationship.
If you still can't change your current desire for communication in an intimate relationship through your own efforts, then you can definitely try entering a new relationship. At least you will have grown into someone who can love and understand love and have the ability to manage intimate relationships better because of this relationship.

I understand the appeal of a connection where interests align more closely, yet stepping outside my current relationship feels wrong and could hurt my partner. I think honesty is key here; maybe it's time to discuss my needs with my partner and see if we can find a way to connect on a deeper level.
Feeling unfulfilled in communication can be tough, and meeting someone who shares your interests can feel exciting. However, I need to consider the value of loyalty and work on what I have first. Perhaps opening up to my partner about these feelings can lead to positive changes.
It's challenging because while this new person seems to offer a richer exchange, betraying my partner's trust isn't the answer. Instead of pursuing the new acquaintance romantically, I should focus on improving my existing relationship and addressing the lack of communication with my partner.
The temptation to explore a new connection is strong when feeling misunderstood, but it's important not to act on it out of respect for my partner. I should prioritize discussing my concerns within the relationship and look for ways to bridge the gap in our communication rather than seeking fulfillment elsewhere.
