It's a tough thing to do. It's not somthing you can press, it just happens. Just continue to be endearing and loving, don't push eventually he will come around.

As a woman, I think it's because men inour culture have been taught from an early age to "keep it to himself" how he feels. Also, if this man were to have opened up and shared something with another woman, and gotten laughed at, made fun of, etc., that would make the guy much more cautious. Or, simply, he hasn't shared with anyone, and is afraid to, for the same mentioned reason-not to be made fun of, etc. The man needs to know he is respected by the woman he loves, I think, before he could possibly even think of sharing something "confidential".

Because of peer pressure - a man has got to be a man - macho and all that - only the othe day I was told it was homosexual for a man to have a bath - I didn't know that before. I'm happily married and don't have to impress anyone save my wife - and eh! Guess what - I'm still having baths!
You could always try reverse psychology - tell him he's not being a man - if he doesn't tell you how he feels - tell him he's frightened - then you'll be directly challenging him - macho bit again - and you should get him to open up - albeit not very easily - Good Luck !

Its harder for a man to let a woman into his head. Despite what most men will say when they hold in their feeling and thoughts its because they are scared of what you will think of them. My advice to anyone who is going though this is- Don't pressure him with questions like "whats wrong with you" "how are you feeling". When you want to know what on his mind tell him you know that something is going on up there and if he wants he can tell you. Don't try to force it out of him. Asking just once is good enough the more pressure he feels the more withdrawn he will get. It will take some time but eventually he will just tell you how he feels. (it took about 9months of dating to get my boyfriend to share his feelings with me)

Many men fear getting rejected. Therefore, they do not share their innermost feelings with others. Sometimes, males have not explored their feelings and done enough introspection to share them with others. There are also males who chose to hide their true feelings because they may be aware that their feelings are negative and/or not suited to their true motivations in a situation and they will not win or have their way if the truth comes out.

With me it's the other way around, I keep my feeling to myself because when I talk about stuff like that I cry, and I hate it when anyone can see me cry, and I also feel like I'm throwing a pity party for myself. I think it makes me seem weak when I cry. But recently I've been expressing my emotions, still working on it.

each and every time they try this it gets stomped on so they % up a lil extra. i comprehend each and every time my coronary heart gets broken I open up lots much less with the subsequent one. Kinda like driving a motorcycle. till you get the only you will marry. you will save the learning wheels and the helmet for secure practices.

men generally have more problems trusting people.. i think its kinda a caveman thing
what id recommend is to reward him anytime he does.. you can get creative with that.. i know that i have been successfully trained before, and i was alright with it.. as long as it wasnt simply for amusement and i still got a treat after i performed

man are by nature quiet and reserved. they tend to be more action than words. you also have to take into consideration his family background. are his parents and siblings outspoken or reserved. dont force him to talk, give him time, he will open up in his own time.
