[quote=Anonymous]I am like your DH for a variety of reasons, mostly having to do with my family of origin. My parents were very limited people, emotionally speaking, and I never really learned to "speak," emotionally. Also, I am generally very guarded, including with my DH. Intimacy is, in general, very uncomfortable for me. I am 52yo and have been married for 20 years. I've had lots of therapy around this, both individual and marital/with my DH. There have been modest improvements, very tiny ones. On the whole, it is what it is. Frankly, I don't think there is much you can do about this. It sounds like you know your DH loves you, but that he is not as expressive as you would like. Is that accurate? Was he not like this before you married?[/quote]
