Have to agree with GEL on this one - my H is the same way. During the courting period he was wonderful, even for the first couple of years. But then it started going down hill. The closer he got to me emotionally, the more he pulled away. He couldn't handle it because that isn't what he knew from a kid. His mother was particularly cold - that is how he remembers her "a cold person" although he was close to his dad. However, he NEVER saw them show any type of affection to each other and they slept in separate beds (which was more due to the space issue than anything else - i.e. 2 children, one boy one girl, only two very small bedrooms in a VERY small cottage in the boonies) but the fact still remains, no emotion from mum, no way to relate to it when you grow up
