My husband is very good to me on a practical level. I certainly can't complain there. Sometimes I do feel that he is emotionally selfish. By that, I mean that he rarely talks to me about his feelings. He also tends to say "end of discussion" whether the problem has been dealt with or not - that hurts. But ok, that isn't because he is a man - it is just him!

I am truly grateful for my husband even though he sometimes only has his own interests at heart.

I feel that women can have as many "selfish" moments as men. I agree with what LMo said about comparing genders. Sometimes I know I give as good as I get .........
