Many men find it challenging to express their emotions, and it often traces back to feeling unsafe as they grew up. This sense of safety is usually influenced by their upbringing, especially their relationship with their fathers. But it's not a lost quality; it just needs some nurturing.
To encourage your boyfriend to open up, create a safe space. Express your love and curiosity about his feelings. Let him know that it's okay to talk.
By providing emotional safety and encouraging this practice, you're giving him the space and confidence to speak from his heart.
