He finally opened up… but now you’re second-guessing everything.

In this raw episode of Finding Love, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix break down one of the most misunderstood dynamics in relationships: male vulnerability. From childhood trauma to emotional withdrawal, we uncover why men often bottle up—and what it means when they finally let you in.

We’re going beyond “just talk to me” advice. This conversation dives deep into emotional safety, masculine identity, and why so many men confuse control with protection.

If you’ve ever loved a man who wouldn’t open up—or one who only showed emotion after he lost you—this one’s for you.

✅ Watch this if you’ve ever asked:
• Why doesn’t he tell me how he feels?
• Is he emotionally unavailable… or just afraid to be vulnerable?
• Why do men wait until it’s too late to open up?
• How do I support a man who struggles emotionally?

From emotional detachment to silent suffering—this is the truth about what happens when a man’s pain goes unspoken… and what love can look like when vulnerability is met with safety.

Is a “like” just a like—or is it low-key disrespect?
