I am currently in a wonderful but long distance relationship. He is a very sweet guy. He compliments me every chance he gets. But he is now upset and hurt because I never express my love toward him. I've never been an expressive person but I don't want to hurt him. He said he can accept that and he's sorry for trying to change me. But I want to change! I want to help better our relationship and open up and communicate, I just don't know how.

Tell him exactly what you wrote here. Let him know you are trying to learn to be a better communicator and it doesn't mean you don't love him. There are many resources out there, don't wait until it is too late. Ask your doctor, friends or family if they know a good counselor. Many communities also have workshops you can take through the County Government or local community colleges. Just don't stop telling him how you feel about him. Comminication is the key. Good luck.
