Are you good at showing your emotion to your wife or vice versa?

I always feel so happy to see my wife again after being away from her for a long time, but I don't usually show my emotion because I am not showy though. How about you, my friends?

Women basically are emotional and they expect their husbands to display emotions and feelings otherwise they conclude that your interest in them is dwindling. I genuinely express my feelings when the occasion arises.

My hubby and I are the understanding type of persons and quite seldom we express our strong emotions towards each other. Occasionally we do get carried away but it soon gets settled after some remedial explanations. We do not shout loud or throwing things as many couples do. We consider this to be quite weird for a couple who really love each other.

To be understanding to each other is really nice and helpful. Such being the case, it is not so important to express your strong emotions towards each other. I am so happy that you can always get it settled by some remedial explanations once you get carried away. It is not good at all to throw things while quarrelling. We never do this either. You are a very nice couple though. Thanks.

I am glad to learn that you and your loved one are getting along prettily well. I believe both of you do matter much about understanding and consideration. I consider love between couples to be a mutual affair. I ought to be honestly maintained and lopsided love could hardly last long. Best wishes!

Showing our emotion to our partner is synonimous to entrusting him of our innermost self. Some find it extremely difficult to display what she truly feels, failing to see that in holding back she might be missing a lot.

I can understand that kind of feeling you talk about. You won't feel good at all if your partner keeps silent without talking to you. I thank you very much for your response, my new friend.

I haven't married yet, but it makes me think about the moment I had with my ex. If possible I won't show my emotion because it will provokes her anger right on the spot. It's not that I am scared of her, but I really feel that quarelling is really pointless and meaningless. But that is some drawback as well if you treat your partner or spouse too nice. May be because I never show my emotion, she thought I will never got angry and take advantage of me. Sometimes she is bad tempered and it really make me feel uneasy because I am the kind of person who is not good in handle such situation. Finally she left me for someone else. It might be good for us as well due to charateristic incompatibility. I feel happy that you are maintaining good relationship with your wife. All the best to you!

Hello dear friend. Yeah, I agree that the characteristic incompatibility is the cause to break up the relationship, which is not a bad thing. I mean, it is better to have this happen before getting married rather than afterwards. You are still so young and I am sure that you will meet someone as the other part of you. Wish you good luck, my dear friend.

I don't know I am good at showing my emotion to my hubby or not, but I do know we will kiss goodbye 1 or 2 times a day when any of us leave the house. Normally we will have 3 meals together, so after the breakfast and lunch we will kiss good bye and are back to work. When he returned home from the business trip, we will hug and kiss. I believe this comes out naturally from the true love and genuine passion.

Hello dear Madonal. I love it very much when you say that you kiss and hug each other whenever you leave the house and come back home from work. I should have guessed this from the very cute avatar, which I love so much. Hmm, I need to behave like the avatar and you to my wife. lol. Thank you very much, dear friend. Have a very good day.

I show emotion to my husband and he shows me his emotions. I've always appreciated that he could express how he was feeling to me. I am the hot tempered one and he is the laid back one in the relationship. I guess we equal out.:)

It is very good for me to hear that you are both very open to each other with your emotions. But from the avatar of yours, I thought that you were still a girl at college because this picture of yours is so sweet. You have a very beautiful smile. I am very sorry for my poor judgement. I wish you happy as always in your family life, my dear rosema.

When we were newlywed, my husband and I had no problem letting or showing each other how much we love each other. Now, after 6 years of marriage and a 4 year old son, we have somehow minimized doing that. Well, especially me. My husband, like you, is not the showy type. And sometimes, his behavior can somehow discourage me from being showy of how I feel about him. I don't know maybe I'm a little worried that I may sound corny. But what's good about my husband's not showy behavior, is that when he does let me feel how much I mean to him, it comes out a little more extra special for me. And that encourages me to show him too how I feel about him.

hi william. it does help us, women, to see our husbands being more showy with how they feel about us. Once in a while, we do need to feel and see that "reassurance" that we are still loved and cared for. And keep up in what you're trying to do. It will surely make your wife feel extra loved by you.:)

I have no wife to show emotion to. I did have former girlfriends to show emotion to and I did show from time to time. I communicated slightly more than that, but definitely enough. The efforts really weren't appreciated in my view. Yet I hear tons of claims on how men are "distant", "closed in", and how women want men to show their emotions more, etc. on the opposite side of the coin women really don't want men to show it or use nice insults to put that point across.

I think that I might actually show a little too much emotion towards my boyfriend,I'm pretty sensitive and can admit to crying around him a lot which seems to cause problems. He's completely the opposite of me and doesn't like to show emotion, so it can get complicated at times.

Morning jshean. So you are just opposite to each other in showing emotions to each other. Yes, it could sometimes make things complicated at times. I hope that your boyfriend would be somewhat like my dear jshean to show his emotions to you so that it is balanced to get it less complicated at times. Thank you very much for your response.

I think it's very common for us to act like that. Perhaps this is our culture. If it is not in public, then usually I will hug my husband and he pretends to reluctant to it:)

David and I are just the opposite. We are always telling each other how much we love and appreciate each other. We work from home and always wander back and forth between our office for a quick hug, kiss or tender embrace. When we are apart we always hug when we are back together and neither one of us leaves the house without a moment of tenderness. To me life can change in an instant...and we are committed to celebrating the sacred partnership we have and treasuring it for the precious blessing it is. I guess we are just hopeless romantics that are more in love today than we were when we met 17 1/2 years ago. We renew our vows every five years to keep the magic of what we have alive by nurturing every day in small and large ways. Raia
