Honest question. As a guy who’s gf is quiet and isn’t emotive or talks about emotions much, how do I get her to open up? What can I do or say that will make her tell me what she’s feeling?

There’s really nothing you can do. Just remain supportive and love her. If she wants to open up to you, she will. If she doesn’t, that’s okay too

you shouldn't go into relationships hoping someone changes. accept them for who they are, or this may not be an emotionally fulfilling relationship for you.

First thing is gently communicating that you wish she opened up more. Then make sure whenever she does, even so slightly, you receive it with understanding and grace. She probably keeps herself closed off by habit, and speaking from experience, breaking that habit is fucking scary and feels vulnerable as all hell

I love her for who she is, but I can’t tell how she’s feeling and she never tells me, that’s fairly standard in any relationship I feel
