As a guy, I think this is one of the top things you can do...we (some/most guys) just don't handle emotions well...either we feel guilty and give in, then resentful (maybe), or put up the safety walls, and can't grow due to denial blockage. Until something breaks us out of our conditioning, causing us to re-evaluate our resistance to the emotional aspects of life.
I think this dynamic was a big part of my M.
This dynamic was a big part of my M as well except that it is my wife who did not wish to discuss and confront emotional issues. I had my share in it as well but feel that she had trouble and continues to have trouble really opening up.
