How can I help my husband get in touch with his feelings?

Question

I can sometimes see him holding back what he really wants to say. I'm a "tell it like it is" kind of person, myself. But he isn't so much. He's gotten much better since I have told him my observation. But I just didn't know if there are any easier, or helpful pointers people could give me to help him out. Or even to help me help him out. I want to make him feel more comfortable coming to me with whatever

Answer 1

Men and feelings don't mix.

You must be young.

Answer 2

has he been traumatized in some way?  the reason i ask this is because this is an observation you have made.  he may not realize he is in trouble.  can you be more specific in your question?

Answer 3

Ok, you don't wan to do that. Trust me I have always been a really gentleman kind of guy, bu tmy ex wife thought that if I became sensitive I would be perfect. So I became a really sensitive guy, the problem is that I became extremely sensitive. Now that we are divorcing I cry when I hear love songs, when I see movies, when I'm dtriving and I think about her. I even cry when I'm alone. It has been a year since we separated and I for the past two weeks and can not stop crying ( I cry 24/7).

Now I'm so sensitive & emotionall I'm afraid I will scare off any woman that I grow an interest in, If you really love him you will leave him the way he is.

Answer 4

May I suggest alcohol.
