Here's another shot from my perspective as a woman...
Quote: I thought it was pretty emotional and no my face doesn’t show much emotion. I believe she understands that this is important to me and I have told her (verbally and in writing) that it hurts me and is important to me.
My H doesn't show his emotions on his face...I was sooo relieved to find he could show them outwardly the 1st time in counseling that he saw how deeply he'd hurt me....I saw that pain reflected on his face. That was an emotion I could buy & relate to.
It's very hard for me (and I'm only saying this from my perspective, not for women in general) to believe my H feels a certain way if his expression/actions don't correspond or backup what he's saying.
To be quite frank, he often simply appears cold on the outside. I know he has feelings that run deep, but the outside looks stoic and cold, although to give him credit he is working on this and beginning to do much better. It's so nice now to see him loosen up a bit and know I don't always have to guess.
