"I'm irritated by the fact that people assume I'm inferior or incapable of making someone happy, in both intimate relationships and friendships, because I do not experience empathy and love."

I think you can still make your wife/kids happy even though you don't feel love. You're still able to satisfy their needs even if you don't feel love. It's not like you can choose to be different - you were born this way. How many relationships/marriages are for convenience?
