This is SO helpful! My xh was a Navy SEAL, hated all social functions; wanted only to ride his motorcyles, shoot his guns, and work. When he was a young boy he had to take care of his siblings (hence, the reason why he had no desire to be a parent). There was not emotional intimacy in our marriage and I got so frustrated!
So, why was I attracted to this kind of man? Perhaps I was the needy one or he felt he could 'rescue' me.
Hmm...any way, I have a therapy appt. tomorrow to work on my childhood issues and how they feed into my selection of men at this point in my life. In Jan. I plan on a relationship class. Once I get some things squared away with me I can hit the dating trail again. Right now..I'm resting. Just being with me....
