Rob and Puppy I agree with you both. I know I over looked the simple fact that my h had the same emotions as me, i think the problem is that men themselves tend to hold them back, and so we feel that they don't feel things in the same way. This is were communication becomes key, from doing retrouvaille with my H it has allowed us to speak about feelings and emotions like we have never done before, and it is a huge thing, and it helps me to see where he is and what he is feeling. Rob the emotions you speak of are good points, but sometimes I think those are the ones we expect, but all other emotions tend to be forgotten in men, you are supposed to be the strong ones, and this is were the problems arise, thats what I think anyways!
