Feel like I’m alone in the world sometimes. I keep seeing ads and videos and things for wives whose husbands are emotionally unavailable or checked out or whatever. But I’m the husband and she is the checked out one or unavailable one. What is there for people like me or situations like mine? Is our situation so abnormal that no one cares? So atypical that there is no help for me or for us? Is anything out there targeted towards me and mine or am I just screwed? Am I alone in this shit?
I’ve (40s M) been the victim in abusive relationships with women in my past. More common than you think.
It sounds like Gottman Rapaport therapy, which focuses on exploring how people can communicate and love each other better would be worth looking at? It’s not like tv couples therapy.
