My Capi has been working hard and wanted to surprise me with a day out but I wasn't able to make it
And had been pretty distant after that. After trying to get his attention n turning his buttons on he said I still needed to make it up to him
that it wasn't enough yet...

So I'm thinkn I've done plenty soo far n he's trying to milk it a bit more.. I'm fair game so I play along..
Meet him n ask if he's ready to say the three little words yet?
I forgive you... but he's playing the game still... and say I want to f u...
Decided to play along and said its his turn and what ever he wants he can have n next time it's my go.. He agrees readily!
Was a lot of fun and some of the game playn helps to get out of the serious/ upset/hurt emotional moods..

We're gettn close so I decided this is where I'll ask him to open up - its all about timing...
I held him close n asked him if hes ready to feel vulnerable and says yes.

I think he's ready to open up and want to know what to do next..?

We've had lots of ups n downs n he always closes up if things don't go his way or doesn't want to talk about it.
We've been together a long time yet I feel like I'm only beginning to break the wall down recently

Seems you have a decent pace going thus far, hopefully a little more patience will reward you. In those senstive moments try and avoid strong reactions until he bolsters himself a bit. 5+ years, that's a great start even with a break in there. Remember even if things go askew, if you've been yourself and good woth him he'll remember and things will work out. Don't sweat it too much.

Best of luck 🙂



M - thank you! Previously it's been because of my strong reactions that's made him close up. They really are sensitive.
I asked him to tell me all the things I do that really get to him n make him wana close up so that I can avoid it.
That went ok and he told me n I listened instead of arguing my case n telling him why I reacted in the ways I had done previously. Just needed to listen
I'm silently hopeful now 🙂
