Things We Say That Make Men Emotionally Close Up

Not this again
I personally have a very sensitive partner. It’s hard for him to let things go. But I’ve had to learn that it’s not up to me to decide what the “normal” grieving time is for anything. None of us can decide that for somebody else. So if your partner is emotional again about something he’s been emotional over for weeks, don’t say, “Not this again” or “This again?” You kind of just have to let men be emotional for as long as they need, if they’re ever going to show emotion again in the future. Most of their lives they’ve been told to lock up their emotions—they don’t need that from a partner.
