I seem to have no emotions?

Question

My wife is out of town for 5 days, today is day 4, And I love her and everything, but It is weird, I dont seem to be missing her.

I'm not like

"OH Gee, I wish my wife was here" ,

And, i'm not like,

"Man I miss her so bad", I just kind of dont really feel anything

and I'm wondering if that is normal, and Ok, or is there something

wrong with me.

Answer 1

Unless youre not feeling unemotional towards any other things in your life, then there shouldn't be anything wrong. Although there are times when stress can cause periods of unemotional behaviour, and lack of worry or love for yourself or others due to your mind blanking out feelings in order to make you feel more secure.

Or it might just simply be that you're fed up with an aspect of your marriage.

Whatever it is there shouldn't be anything wrong with you mentally, and if you did have anything wrong, you wouldn't be feeling guilt for not missing your wife. It may also be that you've convinced yourself that you dont miss her, when really deep down you do.

Ive suffered from this kind of thing before under stress, and it can be confusing, but once you see your wife again it will very likely go away.

Hope this helps.

Well some people are like that.They find it hard to express their feelings.I think that is what is wrong with you.You probably want her around but you're not whining that she's not there.It's like a piece of candy.If you want the candy you want the candy,you are either going to do two things,want the piece of candy or whine for it.I think you are just wanting it,not whining for it which is okay.I think that you are normal.Maybe you need to rekindle with your wife though.That could help your marriage and relationship with her.Some people just don't know how to express their feelings and others just don't have any to show.I really  hope that I helped so GOD BLESS you!

Answer 3

ask yourself this:

have you always been like this?

did you ever feel like you are putting on a mask and "pretending" to act like others while you didn't really feel why others make a big deal out of death, emotional hurt, shame, etc?

If yes, talk to a psychiatrist.

If no, maybe you have some recent subconscious resentment towards your wife?

You don't know?

then talking to a counsellor might shed some light on it!

You'll be ok!

Answer 4

The fact that you are worrying about it makes me think you're probably just fine. Don't worry she's only been gone for 4 days. You don't need to miss her. You've got stuff going on. She's coming back. Its all good.

Answer 5

"No emotions?"

Perhaps you never diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome but have had it all along.  

Sorry..., to be honest you, may have such a strongly deep connection with her that your aren't in the dating stages of:  "Oh, my god, when you were in the restroom for those 4 minutes, they were the longest 4 minutes of my life..."  You have a bond that endures.

When she walks in that door, your going have all the emotions rushing to you and you'll sweep her off her feet, literally.  

To close, I will sing you a song, sing with me if you'd like:

Absence makes the heart grow fonder,

And the mind begins to wander back to happier days.

I guess you could say you were taken for granted,

I went on and on...

Answer 6

I am the same way and I have borderline personality disorder but that is just me.

Answer 7

Well, its hard to say you don't have emotions when you follow it with the line of "I love her and everything" as love is a fairly powerful emotion. Is there a reason to miss her? Do you speak on the phone each day she is gone? Do you often spend time apart, like she travels often for work?

I think it is actually an aspect of American culture that makes couples feel compelled to smother each other with "love" all the time. Most cultures would not go so insane over being apart for a few days.

So, if you ask me, you are fine.

Answer 8

well it could be delayed reaction or you could be a psychopath (not offensive read up if you don't believe me) i doubt the second cause you really don't sound like one think of it back when you were a kid going to camp and home sickness people feel emotions at different degrees and at different time scales so just chill out man
