Why is it so hard for my boyfriend to express negative feelings?

[Heather]

Hello,

I found your channel and have been enjoying the informative videos you’ve posted.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for just over 2 years. His tendency to retreat into himself under stress used to cause me anxiety in the beginning of our relationship. However, through much talking and experiences of each other over time I’ve become much more understanding about it.
Although I now accept his actions as a part of him,, it doesn’t mean that I can wholeheartedly comprehend his position.

He knows how I feel about it and has always said he will try, but is this something that can be worked on?

Do you think this tendency is solely because of the guy’s character or is it because the two are not compatible?

Thank you! 🙂
