This is an open letter to all those significant others who have felt embarrassed or ashamed of expressing their emotions to their romantic partner:
Please express your emotions. You are a human being, who needs love and attention, the same as I do. You are in no way shape or form, bringing me down, or trying to make my day bad. You are a beautiful, smart and intelligent person. That does not mean that you need to drop everything to make me feel better, or cater to my whim. You are a human with rights, privileges and above all, a soul.
When you tell me that you are worried you are being a bitch, don't. You have no need to do that because expressing your emotions is a good thing. This is, of course, important in every relationship. Emotions, like communication, are a two-way street.
If the relationship's going to be healthy, then you should know how your partner's emotional state is. You are in no way ruining their day or trying to be a burden, it shows that you are a human who can find solace and trust in your partner.
In a way, by if you didn't show your emotions, or let the other know what was wrong, then it would be worse. You could come off as distant, reserved or just not interested. So understand that it's a good thing to express emotions and to let the other know if something in the relationship is wrong. By doing so it shows that you care, and want to see you two be together for the long-haul.
