Bowtech, Thanks for your response. It's always great to get the male perspective. I don't know if males have less opportunity to share their feelings or if our society conditions them to *not* share. I know I firmly believe that my H's problems stem from his screwed up relationships with his family.(Who look like the perfect family to the outside world).
I work very hard to talk to my sons and pull them out of themselves so they will feel comfortable sharing their emotions. I have always felt very comfortable around men. I usually have no trouble talking with them. I know this is different from many of my GFs. My problems start when I make an emotional, romantic commitment to them. Hope I've grown in that dept.
Sorry for the hijack, Mama.
