rr22, I can honestly say that there was nothing Stepford about me tonight! He's been wanting some real emotions and real sharing, so he got them. He's so much more emotional than I, but I gave him plenty of my authentic feelings and thoughts. I allowed myself to be comforted, which I know is important to him. It is not something that I need, but I have learned that he needs it.
Another thing that's weird about getting together with your H is this--the awkward politeness that comes with these weird interactions. We stumble over each other being super-polite in ways that we never did when things were better for us.
