My bf is horrible with this.. Any idea on how to make him open up we have been together for a little over 2 years and its like he doesnt tell me **** he wont tell me inless i find out and bring it up to him about how hes feeling. I dont understand why he wont open up hardly at all. I know he loves me. I saw him cry one time when i got fed up with him not telling me how he really feels about things and i guess he thought i was going to leave him which i wasnt. Hes not some little ***** wiped guy but he would do anything for me. So i know its not because he doesnt want to be with me. He doesnt like conflict when it comes to girls so if i get mad about anything and just try to talk to him he just shuts up how can i open him up?

Who are you trying to fool? You know good and well you secretly think if your man opens up to you about his issues, you'll think he's a lame or a wimp. Be real with it. I love when women try to run this game on some of us men knowing we see right through you. What happened is he probably opened up to you at first and you criticized him so he repressed it and won't tell you what he's going through, hence "I have enough to worry about". Most men have been through this, which is why some of us think the way we do about being emotional.

I personally think your very wrong there. Most guys don't open up to their woman. Most woman wish they would...wh do you think every girl loves a 'gay guy girlfriend'?
I personally think its sexy for a guy to discuss emotions...you hook up on a deeper level...feel much closer to him...and when you 'feel' closer...you want to 'be' closer.....so come on you men...open up and you just might be surprised when you see where it gets you!!

You answered your own question. He doesn't like conflict. You yourself stated that when he cried because you were upset with him for not sharing his true feeling, he learned not to open up at all. Most men don't like arguments and if they can avoid confrontation, that's what they'll do. Leave the man alone, if he doesn't want to open up you can't make him.

I'm not saying most women love "gay guy girlfriends". I'm saying that most women look down on men who are emotional. Females say they want their man to open up to them but when a man does open up to her, she looks down on him and expects him to "man up". Women can say this, that and the 3rd about how it's sexy when a man discusses emotions but most men know better and they won't open up.

Of course I'm a man, just like I presume you're a woman. I could be wrong (not afraid to admit) but most women looking down on men showing emotion is the general consensus. I'm simply saying that some men don't show emotion for fear of being clowned for it, that's all.

Where are you getting this? Sitcoms? When a man has opened up to me, I've felt like it makes our relationship more intimate, and I respect him more for being able to trust me enough to open up. I can't imagine making light of a serious situation like that.
