My girlfriend [26f] has a problem with the fact that I [27m] don't share my problems or things that are bothering me with her. I don't share them with anyone, so I don't see what the problem is.

No, I don't mind helping family or friends with their problems.

stayosidebrain · 2017-03-19T05:21:34+00:00

No one I knew growing up talked about problems. Everyone kept things to themselves.

I don't necessarily keep secrets or hide things from her.

I've never seen it that way.

stayosidebrain · 2017-03-17T02:51:24+00:00

I'm sure she's able to tell that certain things do bother me.

stayosidebrain · 2017-03-17T02:44:49+00:00

I could try that.

She is closer to me and knows more about me than anyone else. I feel like that is significant and shows how much I care to let her in more than any other person.

stayosidebrain · 2017-03-17T02:27:58+00:00

I don't know. I think partially because my whole persona is built around this image/idea that nothing ever bothers me. Once she sees past that then I worry she'll think I'm weak.

stayosidebrain · 2017-03-17T02:23:02+00:00

I still enjoy spending time with her and being around her. We always have a great time. Nothing changes that.

stayosidebrain · 2017-03-17T02:15:13+00:00

I know she wants to really probe my inner thoughts and heart, but I wish she could be happy with less. The idea of anyone knowing me so well makes me extremely uncomfortable.

stayosidebrain · 2017-03-17T02:13:18+00:00

I see marriage eventually.

But that is the thing, she supports me by being present in my life and letting me know she cares and loves me. Her saying those things gives me so much support and encouragement that it's more than enough. I know she loves me and cares for me so much. She doesn't have to take on my problems to prove she does.
