Why do guys hate going to marriage/relationship counselors?

It is true that men have a general problem with asking for help. Especially when you can just ignore the problem. . . That tends to be the more popular trend.

Imagine this prideful guy, walking in with his girl. . . By which he refuses to show affection towards her in public. Maybe you even have problems getting him to show affection to you in private. Why would he then blubber out all his guts to some person he doesn't even know. . . Much more. . . He's actually paying for.

Men don't really see the problem at hand in the relationship, they see the pressure of the woman being unhappy, and the counselor as the trigger for those problems. "If I don't go, there's not really a problem. " make sense? Of course not. . . We're men.

If you can't get your guy to communicate, maybe you should try other methods. Being completely open to him, as well as never discouraging him to be open. Don't criticize him for not talking. . . Yet encourage openness. Have a conversation time everyday, and weed in the conversations you want. Otherwise, just make it "talk time" so you two would stay connected.

That's like admitting there is a problem. And real men don't have problems. At least not problems they want to talk total strangers about. That's getting way to personal.
