And why should it be? Making yourself vulnerable to another person is a DAMN hard thing to do.
It means sharing parts of yourself with them that even YOU aren’t always comfortable with.
But we do it.
Because we know the rewards it can yield and worth so much more than some temporary discomfort now.
It’s not always easy for men to open themselves up emotionally in relationships.
Very often this has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the way we treat men in our society.
Men are supposed to be tough and strong, which means keeping their feelings deep under wraps.
This means when they get into a relationship, opening up can feel damn near impossible even when you know there’s nothing they want more.
But where does that leave you? You can’t force someone to bare their soul, but you can’t be in a relationship with someone who isn’t willing to risk making themselves vulnerable either.
So you work on getting him to open up, and to be more vulnerable with you, emotionally.
Here are a few helpful guidelines to help him do just that without scaring him away.
1. Let him know why you value your relationship.
Talking about your feelings (even your good ones) doesn’t come naturally to everyone. So set a precedent.
Let him know in clear, simple language what you appreciate about your relationship.
It doesn’t have to be grandiose, in fact, make it a habit.
When the two of you are working in tandem in the kitchen to make fajitas and you can do it without saying a word or getting in each other’s way, tell him how great you think that it is.
You’re setting an example, letting him know that it’s not only okay to say what you’re thinking and feeling, but that it can actually feel pretty great to do just that!
