Why wouldn't my boyfriend tell me about his parents?

So, today I was on a bikeride with my mom and she brought up my boyfriend's parents... She heard they got a divorce. she said that his dad wasn't living at their house anymore. I do go there but not all that often, usually he comes to my house or we go...

other places and I guess I have realized I never see his dad anymore. I guess they have been broken up long enough for his mom to get a new boyfriend. (hes in college and he recently came home so its not like kids at school would know about it so there is no way it would get around that way). but I am just wondering why the heli he wouldn't tell me... Is he embarrassed? is he afriad he will get emotional? does he think that it just doesn't matter? ...what?

Maybe it's just his way of coping with it. He might not want anyone to know. He could also be in denial or doubt about the situation. His dad could have cheated on his mom or vise versa and he doesn't want that to happen to his family. It could have hurt him really bad and he doesn't want to talk about it just yet. There are many different things, but you have to understand that he is a person and people sometimes want to keep things to themselves.. At least until they are ready to talk about it. Don't say anything about it as it could really hurt him. Let him open up when he is ready.

he's probably a little sensitive about it. maybe he witnessed something or felt that it was his fault. maybe he feels like it wud b hard 2 talk about . it he is this sensitive about it, he may b afraid that he wud cry in front of you or he is still in shock, dont confront him about it, maybe bring it up or see if he will respond or mention it himself. if he doesn't it may be best not to say anything.
