Do you think some men just don't feel deep emotions and are able to live on a superficial level forever?
I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm in my 40's, currently single and decided to leave my marriage because I just didn't want to spend the rest of my life unsatisfied and I've braved some devastating times to get out of just living on a 'superficial' level.
This last week though I've had conversations with two male friends (one at work, one socially), both in unhappy marriages but staying for the children. One is clearly unhappy, I was shocked to learn had been for 15 years (with no intimacy for that long) but otherwise presents as a happy person. He is just a friend so I believe he is entirely honest and he's quite a bit older than me so he knows there is absolutely no chance with me so his motives were not one of just wanting to share his experience of life with me.
Do you think some men just don't feel deeper emotions and really can just continue living life on the 'surface' or do you think that at some point their emotions catch up with them?
