My boyfriend is almost never vocal about whatever bothers him, makes him feel uncomfortable or something he doesn’t like to do, after a certain period of time he explodes verbally with so much intensity. When I confronted him after observing him many times he said that he feels I am unable to handle the truth, if he speaks his mind I would be offended. I don’t know if it’s true or not but I tried to make him understand that keeping things inside will frustrate you and after a limit it will come out as volcanic lava that will hurt both of us but he doesn’t understand.
Hey. You’re absolutely right. You took the right approach to talk it out with him.
Try asking him what makes him think that you won’t be able to take it.
Also, make him understand how him bursting ruins things more than if he’d just say it in the moment and get it done with.
Explain how it’s easier to cross tiny rocks and hurdles in the way instead of a giant speed breaker. I’m sure he’ll understand.
I hope I helped!!
