Sometimes, there is a good reason for this. Perhaps there have been some key events where you have felt unsupported by your partner or hurt by them. Perhaps your partner is sometimes an unsafe person.
We can only move into more vulnerability when safety is present, or ENOUGH safety. This is something we work on in couple therapy: processing past hurts in the relationship, learning how to create enough safety and how to have vulnerable conversations.
Couple therapy rocks!
