Not to be rude, I understand how both of you could of misspelled it. lol. My name is Revai( rev-A) not Reval. lol
I am 20 years old and he is 19. We are kind of high school sweethearts. We have had our ups and downs and been through harder times than this. He is under stress and is having family problems, but nothing new. We do have good communication, when it comes to our relationship and trivial anecdotes or stories. However, when it comes to him talking about himself, he just can't. He doesn't ever tell me what is wrong with him though.
I used to nag him all the time, asking him over and over again. Now I ask once or twice, as always he doesn't tell me, then I just let him be and let him come to me when he is ready. Besides those two approaches, I don't know how else to approach him, let him know I am here for him (whether for advice, an ear, or just a pair of open arms), and get him to open up.
I don't want to get into to much detail, but one time he finally did explode. Everything that he had been bottling up, probably since the last time he exploded, just through him over the edge and it was awful.
I did talk about everything with him last night. I though that I was telling him what was wrong and at the same time trying not to put any blame on him. He got angry though; it seems most the time when he gets mad at me for being sad or upset, he is taking his anger for himself out on me.After everything last night though, today was great, but that can only last so long if we don't address the root of the problem.
