I can totally relate to RoxanneMurphy. And I want to thank her because for a long time I was feeling the same and she just explained how I feel in my marriage. My husband had an average childhood, raising up with both parents but he went to jail for almost 6 months when he was 16 years old (physically and verbally has been abused there). I am just assuming it is because of that he blocks any kind of emotion and he never talks about emotion. And God that’s tough living with someone who has no emotional connection with you. I feel the same and I feel like my mental well-being is in danger. I love him and don’t want to give up on him, but I am getting to the point that I see no other solution except leaving him. Not being emotionally available, directly affected our sex life too. I believe when there is no emotional intimacy; sex would never be as good as it could be. Not only sex, communication is out of question as well. We have been to so many different family and individual therapies, but our relationship has not improved. Considering my age (32) and the fact that I want to have kids, I think my best option now is to leave him…I appreciate your comments.
