Oli Jeannettea month agoMy (30F) Boyfriend (34M) Only Shows Emotion Outside of Our Relationship I’m feeling really frustrated and confused about something that has been bothering me for a while. My boyfriend and I have been together for over three years, and this past year has been really rough for us. We’ve had a lot of fights, with me often crying and us having discussions about whether we should stay together or break up. Despite these intense emotional moments, he remains completely emotionless. He talks things through, but there are never any tears or deep emotional reactions from him, even when we’re dealing with our future or the state of our relationship. However, tonight we were watching a documentary about orphaned children, and he started WEEPING. He’s also cried before about things like financial stress and other personal struggles, but never about me, our relationship, or our future together. I’m really confused—why does he show such strong emotions about everything else, but not about what’s happening between us? 173
