I see your point, I meant Emotional detachment: an inability to connect with others on an emotional level
What I have now is a mental detachment: assertiveness that allows people to maintain their boundaries and psychic integrity when faced with the emotional demands of another person or group of persons
Like I said earlier I was the one walking around troubled, depressed wondering what she was up to. Kind of bird dogging her. We had an “Emotional Detachment” I was not a whole person without her I could not do anything without her. But she had no feelings for me.
However I am slowly evolving into a Mental Detachment... Meaning I Can look at the sitch for the good of our marriage. Not just to make her happy. I detached myself enough from the relationship to be able to go out instead of staying home so she would not have to baby-sit. I used to suppress my needs to make her happy / (or unhappy). I think part of the problem after being married for so long is “the excitement of the hunt” fades. Some times ya need to reignite it..
