DH is watching 300 on the tv, and apparently spartans "don't show emotion" 
. He says he must be related to the Spartans.
DH has always been a hard one to read, and is definitely NOT one for showing emotion. Which is the complete opposite to me (am almost TOO emotive 
)
the children are also (led by me, I guess, and my dad) very demonstrative and open. I worry sometimes that DH is a bit "left out" as I am very close to my dad, and the kids are too, and we are all very huggy, demonstrative people.
While I wish DH would show his feelings more, I have gotten fairly good at reading him over the years, which sometimes seems to almost annoy him (how well I "know him"), as he seems to quite like this man-of-mystery persona. Dad gets him too, and we all get on well, despite the fact that DH is so stiff-upper-lippy. He is forces (since 16) and I am sure this is part of it.
Best to just let him be "a Spartan" and work round it, or should I be trying to encourage him to be more open???
