Get married, let's talk then. There's a reason why fishing, golfing, hunting, attending sports and other outdoor activities are so popular with 30+ married male population. |
Why? |

Judging by his last post, I think the answer might be "Because married men want to get away from their wives." |

married life sucks, kills your "positive" emotions, totaly jacks up your "negative" emotions.
i think icy cold robot would be an improved condition to describe my emotions. to give an example:
I used to look forward to holidays, spring, summer, even weekend. now, I don't give a . I don't remember the last time I felt GENUINELY happy just because it is sunny out. I went to the beach last weekend, it was a beautiful day, I listened to music that should have had some impact, I was hoping to feel "damn, this world is beautiful" feeling... but I didn't. I felt like everything that surrounded me was synthetic.
I was always emotional - I'm the kind of person that used to simply drive around and enjoy the scenery. I thought I'd try it - I did, I even skipped a day of work. Went to the place where I thought I'd feel at least some joy. When I arrived, it was like "so... ok. I'm here. now what?"
I can't explain it but I feel like I'm totally inpenetrable to any emotions. The only time in recent memory that I remember when I felt something it was a birth of my daughter and last week when I took my son to see Wall-E. Something in that movie touched me - it reminded me of the range of emotions I was capable of feeling before... It's like now, all of my emotions are stuck on one note and minor one at that.

I suck at emotions. Usually (if i have the energy), I just emulate what my expected emotion should be if the cues are clear enough. I couldn't cry at a family member's funeral, not even a little bit. It's hard for me to be happy as well.
It's not like I'm hiding my true feelings, it's just that I really don't have any hidden feelings, I'm extremely neutral on things. There is no hidden glee and joy, and there is no overwhelming pain and anguish. I'm just alive and OK. That's it. |
Ever considered that you may have mild depression?
Depression is an overwhelming feeling of "nothing" rather than sadness, as most people tend to think.
I'm in the same boat, people often ask me my feelings, but to be honest I don't really have any - it's very strange. On the one hand that's bad because feeling emotions is a very human thing, but in some ways, it's good.
There's pretty much nothing that phases me, and it's good to know how you will react to certain situations in the future. Like you, I could suffer the death of a close friend and would probably not feel nearly as much as someone else would. |

Sorry to hear you are unhappy in your marriage, but married life, IMO, does not suck and it doesn't have to suck. As for the comment made about fishing, golfing, etc., all those activities do not always mean you want to get away from your spouse; it is natural to want some time alone from anyone. |

True true. If people think marriage is such a lifeless abyss, then they should get out of it. Easier said than done I'm sure, but if things change for the worse over time, it doesn't make you wrong for getting out and starting over. The short term complications will feel like nothing in hindsight, compared to a lifetime of misery. |
