“my partner's inability to open up”
What Actually Happened
I feel emotionally exhausted from trying to break down her walls and get her to open up. I feel like I'm constantly trying to get to know her, but she isn't really pushing back or meeting me halfway.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to help her open up and feel more comfortable sharing her thoughts and feelings with me."
