writes:Is my lack of emotion getting out of hand? I'm younger and in the military, no I have not been to the desert, but I was in the meditteranean if that helps. But ive been married for about 5 months now, I knew my wife for about a year. Im still getting used to things, having a wife and kid to look after and all, Ive been single for awhile besides the occasional temporary lustful relationship. But other than that its just been me. But lately my wife has been very emotional, her grandma is on her deathbed. Shes almost 30 and sobbing like a baby, my problem is I just cant understand it for the life of me. I feel im a monster, i'm almost sickened by all the crying and sad emotions, ive never been around so much of it before. I'm used to holding in negative emotions like that.Or just going to work out or something. I do my part to be there for her. But I just dont like the sadness and crying, when people do that (not just my wife) my first response is to tell them to get over it. Her grandma led a healthy and full life. I feel worse for people that die young i guess. I know with the image men have to portray as manly or whatever is normal, but I feel guilty for feeling so emotionless. Should I get help?

I am kind of frustrated though because im not with her at the moment, she went back at home with everyone, and im at work still and at home alone. Maybe thats why all the tension is there. and as for my mom... lol from how she treated me as a child I would care less if she died. I dont talk to her anymore.

maybes you feel like this because you have been through thiseperience before when you were younger or maybes theres alot on your mind right now and you cant deal with everything been thrown on top of you at the same time, why dont you sit down with your wife and tell her how you are feeling and you might just fing the weight been lifted from your head, but take it step by step it wont just happen overnight. Good luck
