I have been with my boyfriend for 8 months and he is extremely kind loving and funny. The only issue is communication. I feel like he only tells me what I want to hear and confuses me as to what he is actually thinking. He is so afraid to upset me that he keeps his thoughts bottled up. How am I supposed to know who he is if he hides it? Does anyone else have this issue? Can it be fixed?

Females talk about their feelings. Males act out their feelings. My daughter would tell me in no uncertain terms what she thinks of me, whereas my son would quietly kick me in the shins and stomp off to his bedroom. My females friends and I spent ten minutes saying goodbye. My male friends say "Okay, goodbye now" and hang up the phone or walk away.

How does he treat you? That will tell you a lot.
