Our marriage is in a difficult place at the moment and has been for a while
I think we aren't communicating properly and haven't been for a while
We have had some tough stuff going on and I think I have been left to be the one who feels the emotion while DH has shut down, letting me do the emotional work for both of us.
Does that sound like a plausible theory?
I think there are other factors going on too but I think this is a large part of it
I think he was brought up in a family where no one discussed issues or emotions, things were denied and swept under the carpet
There have been some things which I have seen and mentioned and been shot down for it which I found very hard to deal with - but I'm realising this was because it went against the family culture of not acknowledging very much openly
Does this make sense as a theory?
