How do I get my boyfriend to open up to me?

Question - (11 October 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 12 October 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend I think defiantly loves me. We've been together for a year and...4 months. He says he's not an emotional person, however I think he really is, he can be very needy and its fine by me because I can be too. We're really good alone but as soon as other people are around he becomes somewhat of a jerk. Also I feel like he wont open up to me. I dismiss is as that im his girlfriend and he doesn't wanna look like a wuss, but I found out from a friend (girl) of his that hes opened up to her about everything, and never told me. I feel like hes being emotional around her because maybe he thinks she'll be more supportive, which I dont get because I try to tell him everything, but around me he wont talk ANYTHING out, he just wants to say shhh dont talk about it. he still talks to his exs, which i dont mind, but i do mind that i feel like even after over a year im not connected to him. I dont know if its that he really doesn't care enough to let me in or what. Who knows...Im not planning on leaving him, its just hard to know he feels like he cant tell me these things. Any ideas on why or how I should address him about that he can tell me?

YourDestiny11 agony auntOk well you need to confront him about being a jerk to you infront of his friends, let him know he needs to respect and treat you right no matter who youre around! Let him know you will not tolerate that! Dont try to force him to open up! It will come naturally! It takes men alot longer to learn to open up than women, dont stress it because it has nothing to do with you! Ask him how work was and things like that, that lets him know your interested and open to listen! Also keep opening up to him, he will open up eventually it will just take time!
