Thank you NinaNina! It helps a lot just to hear that I'm not the only one. Many men avoid telling their girlfriends/wives about stuff they think will upset them because they don't really understand or feel comfortable with the emotional response. I think my b.f. is that way and that he wasn't really trying to hide stuff. He doesn't realize yet that my getting upset doesn't mean that I don't love him or that I will break up with him. I just express myself and then move on.
