I used to think that as i was raised by my two parents and very sheltered but i also noticed that it mostly depended on the relationship they had with their mother.
I know that my husband at 7 was separated from his brothers and spent his childhood in foster homes switching so even though he s a nice sweet person. He keeps a lot to himself as if he has no emotions. i mean after high school his dad asked him to come live with him and his new wife but he refused i guess is not emotionally attached even though he cares for him. and even though he loves his family, he s not the type to write to his family or spend a lot of time.
I guess he s even surprised how am close with my family and they really adopted him and his not used to all the attention. Before me he was in a relationship for 2 years, we been together 3 years but he told me 2 years ago,
he never felt this way and never knew what love was before he never ever say i love you to anybody before meeting me and one day when we watched kramer versus kramer i forgot the title with dustin hoffman when the take the kid he was really sad hum i m even sure i saw a tear but he acted all man up so i wouldnt think he s weak. haaha i know i added in his life just as much as he added in mine cause he s very protective always worried about me
I do think that some men i even see my father who lost his father young (he was eaten by her crocodile on the zaire river) who grew fatherless tends to overprotect their family and give them all the things that they missed as her childhood, to be the best dads and not feel the way they felt. they act almost as dads haha i know you would think i m my hubby s kid sometimes but i notice the men have more problems and issues with women ( life fear of you abandoning them or leaving them, jalousy) but the way he treats you i think depends on the relations he had with his mom. My mom always told me to know how a man gonna treat you watch how he interacts with his mother and siblings women that is cause he will treat you the same respect or not respect you.
Some men do repeat the same traits of their fathers if they were absent and they felt it they can be against commitment and refuse marriages. i think any men behaviour can be traced down to his past/childhood that s why the first dates/months for me is like interview session i grill you without looking like it with all your past info blabla
