My husband is not an emotional person at all to begin. He used to be, but not since we got married. He’s barely got a sentimental, affectionate, emotional bone in his body anymore and only uses it on those he deems fit (which is mainly our son and our dog).
A small barrier to breakdown if your willing to change your outlook on this. This was the most important statement you made in the whole post I believe.
Pick Multiple if need be:
A: You have talked to him about this emotional wall and it turned into an argument.
B: You talked to him about the wall and he is trying to change.
C: You are scared to talk to him about the wall.
D: He refuses to talk about it.
E: He denies there is a wall.
F: You just simply never even brought it up.
Just a few baseline answers if you could just choose the ones that apply i can try to actually give you more perspective to help you. If you want it.
