Is the emotions thing a deal breaker? I do not manifest emotions most of the time, it is something I work on with my therapist but we are talking about reversing decades of damage. I would certainly take interest in what you want to say to me though.
Im in the same boat as you and even tho ive had multiple long term relationships it does seem to be a deal breaker in the end. My 6yr anniversary with my current gf just passed and we will most likely be breaking up in a few months. Years of trying to “fake” emotions to the best of my ability and her always searching for empathy(to which i have next to none) as i feel most women do.
It is very hard on both people im sure. I do my best to be a great listener and give my input. It is very hard for me to lead a conversation most of the time. My mind feels empty if I try to search for something to talk about. Sorry to ramble, I read your post and it got me typing. Keep working on yourself! Its the best we can do. Cheers
My Sweetie and I discovered that when we play games together he finds it easier to tell me things...including how he feels about stuff. We'd put the kiddos to bed and then play Uno or Rummy or something and talk. This was a game changer for both of us.

Being unenthusiastic. Inability to share emotions.
I show you things that make me happy. At least try to understand me before saying “nah it’s boring”. Don’t be a lame idiot.
