| I'm such a pathetic idiot! So goddamn stupid! WTF is wrong with me? Of course we can't connect! Of course he doesn't understand! Of course he is completely dumbfounded and denies any contribution to our problems! He doesn't "do" emotions! For all my understanding of human behavior Ive been trying to connect with my husband, trying to improve my marriage, wanting to feel loved, banging my fat stupid head against the wall, and it never occurred to me that he is so far shut down and emotionally unavailable I won't ever change him or get him to see the sense in changing himself in order to meet my needs to feel loved by him. Is there anyone here who has been able to connect with an emotionally unavailable spouse? Is there anyone here who has a success story including meaningful and lasting change in which a spouse was able to learn to both feel and express emotions? I don't know how much longer I can keep this charade going. I can't change him, I can't accept this as the best we get, I can't just up and leave but it sure is nice to fantasize about doing just that! Maybe this is just a rant I needed to get off my chest. | |||
