Your story reminds me of how rarely we men will ever actually admit to weakness or deficiency of any kind. I'll admit I don't know your husband but this sounds like what it is to me. It's funny, male behavior nowadays can include sometimes acting vulnerable or emotional. But to actually be vulnerable or emotional, heaven forbid. Anyway I hope your husband works out his issues and your relationship gets better.
