does anyone else find it just impossible to have a serious heart felt conversation with your bf/gf? it's not even that he doesn't want to talk about anything like that (although i must admit, he might not be the MOST receptive to a chat like that, but what man is, really), it's more that i can't muster up the guts to even talk about sensitive things like that.

i just can't even spit out my feelings. i feel too awkward! it's like that "i have to be tough all the time" thing, but like, it's getting pretty ridiculous.

am i the only one who has troubles talking about their feelings towards their significant other?

If you're having this probelm, maybe you shouldn't be in this relationship. People in relationships should be able to have serious, heartfelt conversations with each other. Do you feel he might ridicule you for your sensitivity? There must be a reason why you feel awkward talking to him about your feelings, so consider if he makes you feel ashamed of having them.

no, it's not him. i'm not scared of his reaction or worried he might ridicule me, not at all. it's more of a personal thing. like for example, for me to tell my dad that i appreciate everything he's done for me in his lifetime and i think he's awesome despite any troubles we've had, etc,... yeah i could never do that either.

why??

My husband hates heart felt conversations. Maybe he is like you, it´s so hard for him to express his feelings, like he has to be tough all the time, I don´t know. All I know is that he gets mad, and we usually fight for days until he realizes we should have a conversation, which he is always avoiding, pisses me off.

yeah i'm like that too, see i guess i'm more like the typical guy in that way, willing to do anything to avoid talking about "feelings" haha. but i just wonder why. like guys are raised in a lot of cases to be all macho and not show their feelings... maybe for me it's more of a defense mechanism or something. but i just feel SO STUPID talking about stuff like that. and like what i want to say is on the tip of my tongue, but i can't get it out. it's so annoying.
