The man in this relationship seems to be the kind of person that starts closing down whenever someone starts talking about emotional needs. He loves her, but he doesn't really connect emotionally with her. The woman is a person who is in a bad mental state, and though she really needs someone to talk to, she distances herself from other people because of the shame of being so needy. But it sounds like the relationship is maybe falling apart due to this disconnect, so she's finally stepping up and saying this is what I need, can you accept me and listen and support me spiritually and emotionally?
