<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

My boyfriend (20) and I (18) have been together for a little over a year and a half now and are moving into our own place in the next month. He has always been quiet and struggles to communicate his feelings properly. Due to previous relationships I struggle with insecurity issues and I really need to know where I stand. 

We both work full time and often he is too tired or stressed to want to chat, which I completely understand as I work in retail, but I feel that I am the only person to initiate conversation, and if I call he seems uninterested and distracted. It gets to the point where I sometimes leave him for 2 or 3 days without contacting him to allow him some personal space/self time and even after these periods he still seems uninterested in conversation. 

I don't doubt that he loves me at all and I really do love him, but I worry that when we move in the lack of communication will cause more trouble than I feel it already is. It often leaves me feeling lonely/forgotten and I don't want to feel like that in my own home/a place with him. I don't think this is normal for a healthy relationship but he seems oblivious and often becomes defensive if I try and resolve the situation.

How can I get him to communicate better with me or get used to him being this way, should I have to adjust to this or are we not compatible?
