My boyfriend is?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is sad and he doesn’t share what he makes sad i don’t know what to do i tell him to share his problem with me and he said no i deal with my own problem

Here are some suggestions for how to handle this situation:

- Give him space. Pressuring him to share when he's not ready will likely backfire. Let him know you're there if/when he wants to talk, but back off for now.

- Spend quality time together doing activities you both enjoy. Getting his mind off things can help him relax and open up naturally over time.

- Let him know specific ways he can support you through your problems so he understands opening up is a two-way street in relationships. Lead by example.

- Hug/cuddle him without expectation of talking. Physical affection can help boost mood and make sharing feelings seem less daunting.

- If his sadness persists or affects your relationship, suggest counseling together. A neutral third party may help him communicate what's going on inside.

- For now, just keep reassuring him you care and he can trust you whenever he's ready to let you in. Forced sharing often does more harm than good.

The important thing is be patient, supportive and make sure he feels your care isn't conditional on sharing everything right away. In time he'll likely open up, so keep being there for him however you can.

im literally in the same boat and don't know what to do either. i feel so bad because i want to help him and be there for him but, ugh. i can't say much here.

i hope you find a solution because i will need it too.

[etsylo]

In that case you need to take a step back and let him deal and sort out his own problems and issues.

Pushing too hard on this might just turn him against you.

Thank you for the MHO.

Give some space to work on his issues.

How long have you known him

[Asker]

7 months

That’s strange he wouldn’t bond with his girlfriend and talk about his problems

[Asker]

He’s introvert

[Iron_Man]

Sounds like a difficult person

[Asker]

I don't know

[Iron_Man]

Good luck with him

[Asker]
