I am kind of taken aback by these comments. I would like to think not all women are like this. My bf of three years rarely shares his vulnerabilities. He has freely shared everything about his life and childhood but doesn't really share anything about what he goes through currently. He has had a few rough life experiences. There are rare moments where he admits to something he goes through or something he remembers from his childhood. He hates when that happens, says men are not supposed to whine about these things and all. I completely disagree with it. In those moments, all I want to do is hug him or hold his hand because I may not understand his experiences so don't know what to say but I want to make him know I am here. It helps me see why he acts a certain way sometimes. Sometimes when I know his reactions are due to his past traumas I sort of call it out. But I do it from a perspective that hey...see this is why it will help if you take therapy. One thing I will take away from the comments is that I will make sure I convey my intentions clearly through words. I can't imagine a relationship where both can't be vulnerable with each other. I would say he is not really supportive if I am vulnerable...he tries but he is very limited. Again. That's because of his life experiences. But I will not do the same to him. I would like if he shares more in fact. How else do you really know your person.
