[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH doesn't meet my emotional needs at all. For example, when I'm upset he is not good at comforting me. If I talk to him about something important and really open up to him, he doesn't respond in the conversation. As in I talk, and then he is just silent with no acknowledgement or reflection on what I've just said. Also, there is a lack of camaraderie because we don't do much together as a couple, even something simple like watch tv. Because of this I don't feel close to him at all. Is this normal? I have talked to him about this a million times, and at this point it just makes him upset to discuss. I feel lonely in my marriage. Other than this DH is a good husband. He is a good provider and helps a lot with childrearing and chores. I try to supplement the lack of emotional connection I get from him with friendships, but I still really long for a partner who I can be closer to.[/quote]

You’re not alone in this.  Some people aren’t wired that way.
