your a newbie here and your welcome to join in on the old threads.

sometimes bringing up the old conversations that some of us have or haven't seen is very rewarding and I've done it myself.

When you brought up who likes asparagus? or some other weird thing

This thread is 4 yrs old..who cares? Maybe she married him and has never been seen since.

i can relate.
we have been married for ten years and have two children.
i was not bothered by the lack of emotionality early on and it was only when we both faced stressors over the years, that i really came to understand that there was this closeness missing...
and a lack of response from my husband..
that is what really hurt and we have talked about this..
he can do a bit better when relating to his children, which shows he can do it, but only in those situations..
it is sad, because it is in the way of friendship and intimacy...
it is unfortunate. I think it is because he did not witness affection in his home growing up...and it is hard for him to discuss emotions especially mine...
what seems so natural to me, appears so difficult for him..but at some point, i think as a grown adult, it is time to recognize weaknesses and try to do better because of love..it is difficult sometimes to not question his love because of this..
i really do understand your pain.

maybe it is "difficult to treat".."difficult to change"...it is most important to decide what is necessary for us in our main relationship..it is much more difficult to think of separating when there are two children and a family unit to consider...
