A little insight please.

I am one of those cagey types, who has a bit of baggage. My BF on the other hand is very intune with his emotions and how he feels and communicates it well.

Problem that arises is that he doesn't feel that I open up enough with him. Sadly I open up with him more than I have anybody else, he doesn't see it that way as my huge steps are his baby ones.

How do I communicate to him sufficiently, showing him that what I am doing is huge for me, even if its doesn't appear that way to him.

I would start by telling him how hard your life has been and how some of your past luggage has made it difficult for you to open up to others and that you feel more comfortable with him than any one else in your life and that is why you are opening up to him the best you know how right now and that you are working on opening up to him even more, but that you might need some gentle support from him to get the words out of your mouth.

I have a hard time admitting my feelings when I'm face to face with someone. It's strange...I'm quite emotional like your bf....but ya know I can't express myself face to face with someone...it's always in writing.

With that being said...have you tried writing down how you feel??? Maybe you could read what you wrote to your bf...maybe that would help some???

Tell him what you just posted .Some people can open up to everyone they meet so big deal.You may have a hard time opening to just him and that will make him feel special that you chose him over everybody else.
