"   &amp;quot;My boyfriend always shuts down after an argument, how can I get him to talk to me?&amp;quot; This is a great question and one that is hard to answer. Guys by nature hold more inside. We as men are not as good as women at articulating how we feel. There are so many other factors and layers beyond the solid &amp;quot;yes/no&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;victory/defeat&amp;quot; that we are used to and comfortable with, that speaking about our feelings becomes difficult and exhausting. You should make it clear to him that you want to talk about it when HE is ready, and then let it go. Pushing an answer or a response from him could potentially push him away more. Give your man his space, let him chill out, and hopefully at some point he comes back to you even keeled and ready to talk. I don&amp;#039;t get angry often but when I have with past partners, I can admit to &amp;quot;shutting down.&amp;quot; Once, I was away in a foreign country with my girlfriend at the time and we reached a point where we just did not like each other. It was sad, frustrating and disappointing. The discomfort was so intense that even when I did speak, I didn&amp;#039;t feel like myself, which made me feel worse. The situation became a waste of energy and all I wanted to do was get away from her and her opinions. Give him time to cool out before you go digging deeper, and when you do bring it up, remember, clothing is optional! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
