Yes, often. And this makes it particularly difficult to have a conversation with my wife when she is dealing with her emotions in "real time" and expects me to do the same. We have often had "disconnects" over our ten year marriage, and at those times I have been numb or angry or just frustrated, at which point I am tempted to head out to the woods or off to a pub. As I learn more about why I have disconnected with my feelings, I am hoping to recognize and integrate them so that I am more connected with those around me. Not attached, but connected.
