Hello, I’m looking for advice on how to be more vulnerable especially with my husband.
Being able to open up and be vulnerable is something that is extremely hard for me. And when I can’t open up I shut down and by that I’m mean when something is on my mind and bothering me and I can’t talk about I get quiet. And my husband doesn’t get it. Sometimes it’s in the tip of my tongue to be open and express my feelings but it’s physically impossible for me to do. And I feel like my husband doesn’t understand me and that causes problems. He wants me to open up when something is going but no matter or many time I explain how hard it is for me to do so he thinks that I’m doing it on purpose. I understand that he wants me to open up. He’s a great husband. I just feel like sometimes he just doesn’t get me. And I feel guilty for being this way.
Open to any suggestions and advice.
