I desperately need to talk to someone about this, but can't think who, as I'd hate to slate my dh in rl. So hoping honest mnetters could help I have been with my dh for 10 years and we are quite opposite in lots of ways (me extrovert, him not), but it didn't matter, I drew strength from my dh, as my rock...but now his emotional distance (TYPICAL public boarding school boy with distant parents etc)is really getting to me. I am sick of initiating the laughs and not having someone who would come and hug me, kiss me spontaneously. I just can't deal with it anymore, but could never leave cos of our children. He is great in every other way, super efficient helpful dad. But really too efficient, like a bloody robot.
But has anyone here left someone like that and regretted it, or better still is living with someone like that and has found a solution?? I am at the point where I 'avoid' him as much as poss as I am so angry, but then I feel I have no right to be angry because he has always been like this - I guess you can't change someone....
