[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband does not like to talk about emotions, work, or unpleasant things he is going through. He will talk about relationship stuff no problem - "you forgot to clean up the xyzzy" or "[b]I feel [/b]like we're not having enough sex" but generally doesn't talk about colleague irritations, or fears, or stuff like that. He says he "doesn't bring me that stuff" but it's clear he doesn't want to talk about it - his or mine.

I, on the other hand, could gripe about work and personal negativity all day, even when things are positive. I try to temper it and I try to emphasize that even though I complained about a colleague and a student and a task that I still love my work, but it's hard for DH to understand this concept.

I do view this as a gendered difference, mostly. [/quote]

That's not a feeling btw, that's a thought.

I think we are not having sex. 
When we go without sex for 2 weeks I feel neglected and sad.

You forgot to clean up - thought
When you didn't clean up the sink and I had to it made me feel like you don't respect my time. - feeling[/quote]
