so im goin to tell you I.used to think my partner was the one not opening up turns out I was the one hurting her and closed and I was blameing her not seeing it cause I convinced myself it was her not me healing starts with you I belive this will help any man/women who allso is dealing with this within their self recently I've just been getting therapy Beacuse ive figured out it was me I was diagnosed with autism recently so I've been on a self healing journey I recently worked out that being in solitude my brain associates it with pain and trauma due to past and childhood trauma allso I have a fear of abandonedment/rejection I hope this helps as your partner may he experiencing this but may not be aware or struggles to trust dealing with this has helped my relationship significantly the intimacy returned my partner no longer withdraws from time with me instead she works with me to understand and help me heal I've now been able to connect with her emotionally without the fear but it still their I just learned to manage it better I hope this helps

Writing, blogging, and talking with a friend all help me cope with the pain. It’s lonely when the pain gets severe because nobody gets it. That’s why I’m on this app. My life with chronic illness is just too much to cope with on my own. Hoping to make some friends so that we can support each other through the tough times.
