No, Maria, I think you're right, it's a sign of maturity and ADULThood for that matter to be able to communicate your issues.
But this took place almost 10 years ago, when we were very newly married and still very young (we were 20/21 when we got married).
In his family nobody really talked about feelings, so he felt stupid to say "I want to come along.".
Now - after over 10 years of marriage - he knows that I will respect his feeling and try to understand him, still it's difficult for him to communicates his wishes, but he is trying.
But he needed the time to grow into this man. And if someone is not forced to do this part of growing up, they might still act "childlike" even at 30 or 40.
