Why does my boyfriend confide so little in me?

You ask, our lady for love answers. This time: My boyfriend doesn’t want to talk to me when he’s not feeling well.

How can we deal with it if the partner does not want to talk about his problems?imago/Daniel Sierralta

Daniel, 32: Dear Ms. Höfler, mein friend often comes home in a bad mood in the evening. When I ask what happened, he doesn’t want to talk about it and his mood gets even worse. I take that as a rejection that he doesn’t want to share what’s going on inside him. Besides, I want to be there for him and catch him, especially when he’s not doing well. Or should I really just stop asking?
