What to do when husbands become defensive about hiding things?

Answer 1

Just tell him people have secrets and say you still love him, but some things have to be kept in until you're ready.

Answer 2

Open communication is key. Encourage your husband to share his feelings and concerns in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Try to understand his perspective and work together towards rebuilding trust in the relationship. If needed, seek the help of a couples therapist to address underlying issues.
