<human>: My SO and I were together for 3.5 years when we very suddenly split in December. It was his decision and I was devastated. Over the last few months we've been talking a lot and yesterday decided to give it another shot. Our biggest issue was communication, no doubt. I love this man with everything I have and while I know I can lose him again, life is better when he's apart of it. 

I've spent a lot of time since the split working on myself and he's done the same but I'm still concerned with our communication styles. I tend to be very forceful and dominant and he's more passive. I lay everything out and he bottles. While we've both gotten better, I want us to be great. How to we work together as a team with such different communication styles?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: My SO and I have totally different communication styles. He keeps everything in. I definitely do not. How do we communicate better the second time around?
