[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP. Is he on the autism spectrum, by any chance? Some of them can seem unemotional. And no, they're not "secretly terrified". They just don't process information emotionally like you or some other people do.

My husband is a doctor and has ASD. I've had health issues where he took charge, being a doctor, but conversations were strictly surgical/medical in nature. There was no emotional support, and indeed, he also was annoyed at my total freakout (entirely justified, in my opinion). I remember it as one of the worst times in our marriage, because I already *had* a medical team. What I needed from my spouse wasn't actually more medical surveillance, but someone to lean on emotionally. He could not fill that role, and that's probably a weakness that many people on the spectrum share.

I leaned on my best friend, who accompanied me to my surgery. I hope you can find support from friends and relatives, OP. Best of luck.[/quote]

Agree.

If this is a pattern how is ignores issues and shuts down he likely has some mental disorders. You prob already know that though. [/quote]
