with your significant other? Issues you have with their behavior, attitude, etc.
I've never enjoyed talking about feelings (not to mention I don't want to perceived as too sensitive about the issues that bother me), so instead I end up breaking up with girls over things without attempting to resolve/discuss them.
Probably gone through half a dozen relationships like this, figured it's probably not an optimal approach
You don't have to be emotional to address issues, just say what's on your mind. If something is bothering you just say it, you can't go through life running away from issues with women because you don't want to appear weak. If you don't tell your gf that you don't like something she's doing, how is she supposed to know? How would you feel if you were dating someone and you thought everything was going well and then out of the blue they dump you. You would be shocked, upset, hurt and constantly wondering why. So don't do that to someone else.
You just tell them what's bothering you. That's it. It's not rocket science! IMO, it's pretty cowardly that you can't talk to your partners about your feelings. How would these girls know what's bothering you about them if you don't tell them? People aren't mind readers, ya know. There's nothing wrong about expressing your opinion on something, especially if its on something that can be resolved.
My recent ex was exactly like this and this is my motto: "If you're mature enough to have sex, then you're mature enough to talk about your feelings." In my eyes, he will always be a coward for taking the easy way out. No question about that.

Talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk, and then talk.
And talk some more.
Communication is critical to a successful relationship.

You're going to have to grow up and become mature on talking your feelings out. Really communication is the key to successful relationships.
solution: talk more about ur feelings, communicate.
Your "weak" problem is just an insecure macho thing. a confident man has no problem talking about his feelings. Hows a marriage/relationship supposed to work without that? or does a real man always end up alone/divorced?

What is with some women that every time a guy doesn't meet their expectations, it's always a reflection on his "manliness"?! Talk about "ball busting" and "emasculating"... geez, no wonder some guys are reluctant to bring up "touchy" stuff!
