Quote: See, I think he's spewing a bit of crap there. He obviously is NOT okay with you moving on or he wouldn't have run out in the rain at that hotel, earlier this summer. He DOES have it in him, he just chooses not to tap into those emotions for some reason.
I agree. He chooses not to tap into those emotions, probably because they scare him. I think if I were to start packing my suitcase, he would feel those emotions and probably even want to make love to me, but I can't be constantly "packing my suitcase" in an attempt to inspire his passion. He has to figure out how to feel/appreciate my importance to him on a regular basis, not just when he senses he might lose me or when everything is going great and he has some mental/emotional energy to spare.
I've often thought that his tendency towards depression was responsible for his "numb" response, but I've done all that I can do in that regard by encouraging him to seek professional guidance and medication.
Quote: All I know is that you are a beautiful woman who does not deserve numbness--you deserve open arms and a hard appendage.
Right back at you.
