That he has problems too, but feels unable to share them with me because it may be hurtful.

Can you let him know that you really want him to share with you, that you are willing to listen even though you know it may be hurtful? That it important that he be able to talk openly with you? They don't call it the pain of reconciliation for nothing.

Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
