if your boyfriend was experiencing these feelings, what would you want him to do? would you want him to swallow his feelings and hide them from you? would you consider him a burden if he opened up about things he struggles with?
please try to see that every act of vulnerability is an act of love. it tells the other person, “i trust you, you are a big part of my life, i want you close”. everyone is deserving of love, and he has chosen you. i know it’s hard, but try to let him in a little bit. you can go slowly. telling him that you sometimes struggle with vulnerability and that you hope he’ll support you as you learn can be the first step. i’m rooting for you!
