Folks who didn't grow up in an emotionally expressive household - how did you get past this mental block in your relationships? Myself (F 25) and my boyfriend (M 25) are struggling with this.
The title is pretty self-explanatory, but looking for advice on how to get over the mental block of being emotionally expressive? I grew up in a household where we didn't say 'I love you' or things like that and now I'm struggling to get there with my long-term (4 years) boyfriend. There are moments in our relationship where I really feel it and it's like on the tip of my tongue but I just can't get myself to verbalize it. Of note, this is not exclusive to my romantic relationship but all relationships in my life.
