Why are some men not expressive?
Due to the way young boys are socialised in education and in society, their ability to deal with emotions has been systematically undermined from a young age.

Beyond that, there’s not much he can do, no matter how strong his love for you, because we can’t create inner peace for the people we love the most (something that’s true not just for our partners, but also largely for our children).

How do I tell my boyfriend I don’t feel loved?
Some might call that romantic. Just as therapists will suggest to couples, “Before you say that you don’t feel heard, it will help to consider how well you listen,” I would suggest that before you say that you don’t feel loved in the way you want, it will help you to consider how well you’re loving your boyfriend in the way he wants.
Learn first how he thinks and reasons, why he might not share so much, and give him the understanding. Then you can encourage him to share more when you can approach him in a similar method of communication. The key is to help him to understand why sharing is important to you.
