When I was in therapy with my husband before I finally left him at the age of 54 after 33 years of marriage, our T said he had the emotional maturity of a 13 year old. Yep, that was a serious problem all those years but I never understood what it really was until then, just knew it aggravated me.
Learned after I left that he was on the autistic spectrum.
There are many things that can cause emotional immaturity from the family we grow up in & if there is emotional abuse going on in our childhood to things like having a condition that causes it. There can also be a combination of things.
Sometimes therapy helps, sometimes it doesn't.
