Problems communicating in my relationship

Hi all!

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I have the feeling a Bhuddist perspective could be really useful. In my relationship I have a recurring problem with my girlfriend where she tends to talk a lot. I find this very sweet and I feel happy about that she wants to share so much of her life with me. The problem is that I notice that I have trouble listening to everything. I myself tend to process most things internally and I'm an introverted person by default. After a while I just feel overwhelmed and tired and I have to communicate my boundaries to her. Most of the time this starts a lot of frustration; Sometimes she just feels I'm not interested enough in her, sometimes she understands me but still feels frustrated as she still feels the need to share her experiences with me.

This problem has come by so many times that I feel more and more hopeless we'll ever get to solve it. Could anyone help me with a new perspective or relevant teaching?

Thanks!
