My friend loves her boyfriend bery much. But it seems to her that he doesn't really open up to her. He always keeps his problems to himself. Well, he 'll mention that something is bothering him but when my friend probes, he shuts her out. He just says that she wouldn't understand or that it doesn't concern her. My friend is really worried about this. She's thinking that if her bf can't share everything with her then there's something lacking in the relationship. She says she doesn't want that. It would better if they broke up rather than to continue the relationship when he isn't sharing his life with her.

What do you guys think. Is she doing the right thing? Or is she being unfair to the guy?

maybe you she should talk to her boyfriend about how she feels...give him time to adjust also...there are just people who find it hard to open up to anybody...

Even if it is not easy, don't take it personal. Give him a chance to air side also.

May be her boyfriend doesnt want her lady love to get worried about him! Some men feel that it is not manly to show distress to others. This is what I have been told my one of my friends.
In this case, the girl should openly discuss her problems to him and make him feel that she is very comfortable to share.
If this doesnt work, then do the same thing to the boy what he does to her.
Show him that she is in distress, but dont disclose too much. When he asks for the full picture, tell him the same reason what he had given her. May be this would work.

She should talk to her bf and tell him that she's there for him always, that it's okay to talk to her about anything. He doesn't have to be afraid of being judged or be ashamed of his fears or mistakes. Also tell him that she wouldn't think of him less of a man if he cries on her shoulder sometimes.

She must tell him that she feels left out when he doesn't tell her his problems. See if he changes. If not, she might just have to break up with him. I think their personality does not match. This may become a greater problem as the relationship goes on.
