Laura1318 agony auntGive him back his own medicine or you can keep on digging and digging and pester till he opens up.

If you keep knocking at the door, he will have to open soon otherwise he will have no peace.

If he does not want to open up, then leave him.

PeterPan agony auntWhat do you mean "bottled up"? -- his sorrows? ...his triumphs? Or are you saying that he doesn't share the (so called) important things going on in his life? In my mind, there would be a difference there. How long have you been together? That's also a related issue...

If you can answer these questions, I think that would help us give you a better answer.

Smiles agony auntI know you are probably feeling hurt and frustrated, but I suggest you give him time and space.

Get the book Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, read it while you are waiting for him to come out of "hibernation".

It will give you a lot of insight and might help you understand!

Good luck!
