David, How Do You Get Him To Talk About His Feelings?

Ahh one of the questions I see in my inbox at last 100 times a week (at a minimum.) “How do you get men to open up?” “Why won’t he talk to me?” “Why does he push me away?” Here’s something you need to understand about men. You can’t force a man to talk about his feelings. Asking him how he feels all the time, and bugging him to open up isn’t the way to do it.
