I don't want to tell you how you should live your life but it sounds like your husband and you have some serious relationship issues going on and maybe you could benefit from going to a marriage counselor. My Wife and I are best friends and we don't hide anything from each other and when I have something important to discuss no matter how big or small she is the one I discuss it with first because I trust her. Maybe I am just more open with my emotions because I am a songwriter but if two people are both not willing to be open with each other their relationship is doomed to fail. I wish you good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Your wife is lucky that you can come up with better and more flattering compliments than that one remark from my husband! Thanks for your reply. We do have some issues, but our issues aren't quite as bad as they once were. That's great that you and your wife are best friends! It sounds like you have the ideal relationship! I think that you might be right about being more open due to being a songwriter. You're more in touch with your emotions.
My husband is a former solider in the military and he is much more stoic and unemotional most of the time. It's just the way that he is, so nothing can change that-
Sometimes it IS a good thing, but sometimes it can be frustrating as hell to live with someone like this! Especially for a emotional and sensitive person like me!
I try to be as open as I can with him. I'm usually pretty direct with him, and when I ask him about something, he can be direct with me too. He's just not that expressive and overly secretive about certain things at times like finances, ugh! I read a lot of books about relationships to try to help us both. He would never agree to go to counseling as he thinks he's fine the way he is. Although our marriage isn't ideal, it's not that bad anymore. I can live with this as his good qualities outweigh the bad ones most of the time.
