Lately I’ve been stuck on this question — what does being vulnerable really mean in a relationship? I’ve always thought I was open, but recently my partner told me they sometimes feel like I keep parts of myself hidden, especially when I’m stressed or overwhelmed. I never realized pulling away could come off as emotionally distant. So now I’m trying to figure out: does vulnerability mean sharing everything, even the messy stuff you don’t fully understand yourself?

Funny how sometimes the best talks happen during a random walk or while doing dishes. It’s not always about setting up “the perfect moment” — it’s when you least expect it that people really open up. I’ve seen that a lot with my friends and even in my own past relationships. Half the time, being real just means saying what you actually feel in the moment instead of trying to phrase it “the right way."
I get what you’re saying. I used to think vulnerability was just about being honest, but I realized it's also about being seen when you’re not at your best. For me, it was letting my partner see me cry without trying to explain it or fix anything. We started using undress love a few months ago to help spark those deeper convos, and it helped us go past just “checking in” and into more raw, honest stuff.
