My husband and I have been married for 27 years and I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure out how to get through to him. He was emotionally neglected in his childhood and is a very removed man in his second home (ours). It has taken me a long time to figure out just what the problem is and finally it's here. However, after 15 years of therapy (his), he is no different because they never addressed this issue. Have you every encountered such a case and do you have any suggestions? He lives in the basement on his computer, has no contact with the family and shows no affection towards anyone and has no friends (but acquaintances) and no connection with his first family. Has battled depression all of his life.
Thank you
Me

errr... i am surprised to read your post here because you've been married for 27 years and you feel that you've not been able to connect to him emotionally. i don't know what to say because i've been going through the same thing with my husband for a few years now and i am still looking for ways to fix this! after reading your message here, maybe there's just no hope in getting through to a person like this :~~~(

have you read any of the self-help books about communication at all?
