How Much Emotional Honesty is TOO Much?

[@melkerner]

I think her telling me that she isn't in love with me any longer and as far as our sexless marriage goes - she "married me for other reasons" is a little too much honesty. she doesn't understand that telling me this is like saying she married me for safety and resources while she was giving it to random hook ups before we met who had to meet zero standards - while I am simply here to be a roommate - kind of ruins your relationship.

For a guy, you can only express positive emotions. If you share negative emotions with a woman, you are either "ruining her day" or "keeping score". Guys, play the smart game, go see a therapist and keep your mouth shut otherwise. Women only want to hear nice things about THEMSELVES - this is their idea of "emotional intimacy" - not only can they not handle it when you come home after a hard day if you need to vent, it actually pushes them away, ultimately into the arms of another man.
