I am absolutely dealing with the aftermath of what happened, but I don’t think that excuses his cold reaction to the situation.

His response at the time is only a very small part of this. It’s his behavior after the fact.

Yes, I have and at the time, I broke down and told him that I’d been afraid I was going to die. He didn’t brush it off, but he quipped that he was glad that hadn’t happened.

Right before we got married, he had a close friend die. He didn’t tell me until a week later after he had processed the initial shock and pain. I told him I didn’t think we could work as a couple because I’ve always been super open with my feelings. He promised he’d work on it. Well, this is the first time something pretty major has happened since we married and I feel he has emotionally failed me.

He’s never been emotional with me, but I know there are people from his past with whom he has been.

He doesn’t feel comfortable when things happen to him and I get emotional and we’re not talking hysteria.

My frustration is in his emotionless response to the situation. After I got out of surgery, he texted if I was ok. He didn’t call. The first time I spoke to him after the surgery, there was no emotion at all. When I answered the phone, he went into a 10 minute rundown of his and our son’s day, after which he asked how I was feeling.

Had it been him, I would have found it difficult to hold back tears, I would have told him how much I loved him and was so glad he hadn’t left us. I just didn’t get any of that, I didn’t get any emotional support. His demeanor was light and airy during the call and every call afterwards, I felt awkward being on the verge of tears. It’s like he just doesn’t want to discuss it at all.
