I struggle sometimes when my Husband is distant and cold; he just doesn't do emotions. Sometimes he won't say I love you - not in a malicious way. Just because he doesn't feel emotional at times. He sees emotions more as a weakness.

I am working through books from Laura Doyle. I was very critical and disrespectful in the past, so I am working on showing him more respect, love and kindness.

What's the best way to handle his distance at times? I know he doesn't mean to hurt me, but it does. I've told him how I feel, but he tends to revert back at times to putting up walls.

Sometimes I keep saying Iove you like a parrot, I get upset and it all comes out like word vomit: do you love me? Etc - that pushes him away even further!

Thank you! :)
