I shut down and you know what to do from there
Tell him. I've learned men can't read minds & for the most part you have to spell things out.
I just tell him if there's something I'm
Insecure about, then I always get a compliment that makes me feel better

I'm not good at expressing my feeling but somehow she always knows when something is off with me and she never fails to make me feel better about anything and everything.
i tell him
Just tell him
Every man has his bad days and is down from time to time. I rarely show it and do my best to contain it because she needs me to be strong and I need to be that for her. so i always lock it down. BUT some how sometimes she can see through me and always asks if I'm ok. Sometimes I'll let her know and just ask for some type of support. Other times I just push through it.
I just tell him what I need from him an let him feel the urge to please e.
The sad thing is that sometimes I feel low and don't know why. She brings me so much joy I need to be able to reach out to her when I get stressed, angry or scared. I know she'll be there. She always has.
Tell him. If I tell him about how I'm feeling and why I'm insecure or sad he always there to talk, encourage or just hold me until I feel better. And probably shower me with compliments and kisses until I get there.
I tell him that I feel alone and really need him to support me or something. I actually suck at asking for help. Idk why... But either way sometimes he gets the hint and just listens to me venting. But he gets annoyed sometimes cuz I feel that he doesn't know when I'm just in need of venting or just complaining.
No I understand. You just never let me talk. U interrupt me as soon as I open my mouth then complain how I never talk to u.

Seriously? I just ask. I hope it doesn't come across as too strong but if I need something I'll ask. Then its on the table & we can deal with it together. ❤
I'm not very good at expressing my feeling. Especially when it comes to asking for things. I think most of the time if I need encouragement I start talking down about myself. Your really good at picking up my que and are there with some encouraging words. I'm sure there are better ways to go about it. Like, just ask! Lol!!
