I have met a man who I can talk to about anything, who will talk to me about my feelings and the things that bother me. He will share his feelings with me, too.
The problem is - he's not my husband. My husband has always been closed and standoffish. Feelings are not an option for him - he says they make you weak.
I have never met this other man in person, but I talk to him daily over the internet. I can't get him off of my mind - even to the point that I have dreams about him almost nightly. I think about what it would be like if I could be with him. I smile every time I talk to him, and when I've had a lousy day, he seems to pick me up and make me happy.
Is it normal to seek comfort in another man, if mine doesn't seem to be there for me emotionally when I need him?
I am a male and I believe if you are honest about this with him, and he loves you, he will change his thoughts on this and open up and you two will have a happy marriage. If this cannot be accomplished, I think you just as well get a divorce because without good communication, there is no relationship in my opinion.
Also beware you never know who you are talking to over the internet this so called "soul mate" could turn out to be a complete psychopath.
when you first meet men they love everything, they are so sensitive, they love what you love, they are your SOULMATES.
don't trust that illusion.
I have worried about my marriage for a long time - my husband just flat doesn't communicate. Any time I try to talk to him about stuff, it ends up in an argument, regardless of the subject matter. And it seems that he is always right and I'm always wrong. He loses his temper so easily.
Anyone have suggestions on how I might approach the conversation differently? Anything you can give me would help.
tell him you want a divorce. see if he wants to talk then.
Be wary of friendly strangers on the internet.
i encourage you to try an work things out.
let your husband know what you are feeling, try finding some girl friends to talk about things. sorry if that's "gender discrimination," but how do you think your husband would feel if he knew you would rather tell your feelings to another guy, over your own husband?
