What steps should I take to open up more to him? Reply to this Question

 Hi hun, I would just like to say I know how you feel because i'm exactly the same. I find it hard to tell my boyfriend things and open up in case I don't like how he will respond.
However I know that letting things out is so much better than keeping it in, and if he loves you then he should know everything you think and be able to understand it. You can never be truly happy if you have to think about everything to say and hold back on how you feel, so your first step should be asking him if you can sit down and talk about everything. Ask him exaclt how he feels and what he thinks the best things about the relationship are. That way he too is opening up and you are not alone. You could also start by opening up slowly. Say one or two things a week, and you will slowly realise it doesn't matter what you say.
