Re: I could Kill him when...
I think its more like he probably gets overloaded, cant handle it and shuts down. Guys just have trouble handling emotional issues yeah? So they shut down, like an overloaded computer. I've seen this so often with my eldest son who has "sensory integration" issues esp dealing with eating. He doesnt wanna do it so he shuts down and goes to sleep. You really hafta feel bad for them and realize that they actually DO realize theres a prob. They just cant handle the emotional aspect of it and so they shut themselves down.
that's understandable that men and even sometimes women feel the need to just let it be but many times if the issue isn't dealt with right then, many men just forget about it and it resurfaces over and over again which is not good for the relationship and psychologically not so healthy.
