It sort of can be. Like I said, that's just the way that he is. Stubborn and set in his ways. He has only been with one woman before me, so that and the fact that he grew up with people who were just like him in most ways, it makes it hard for him to relate to others who are different.

He's obviously not good with women. He's lucky that I'm paitient and that I don't rely on him only for emotional support. I'm kind of used to it since I got very little of it growing up. Thank god for my friends and this board!

He is a good provider, reliable, honest, funny, easy to be my real self around, tough, good at fixing things, etc...He doesn't really drink or do drugs either. his biggest vice is smoking. He is a hard worker too.

I wish that I could have it all, but let's face it, no one is perfect, and very few of us women have men in their lives that are emotionally supportive. I think that a lot of men out there don't like talking about feelings and emotions.

It seems like my husband is only capable of feeling the most basic of emotions such as hunger, tiredness, the need for shelter, and sex of course, lol! I'm not kidding, I don't think that he is truly capable of feeling any strong emotion most of the time, so for that, I'm going to cut him some slack. It isn't easy living with a man like him for sure! But things could be worse!
