Is My Husband Emotionally Unavailable Quiz

Sometimes, emotional availability is a short-term issue that people have if they have recently gotten out of a relationship, have trust issues, or are still trying to deal with other issues from their past. Other times, emotional availability could be more of a long-term problem due to fears, their upbringing, their emotional connectedness to the world, or a slew of other reasons.

Being in a relationship with someone who is emotionally unavailable could be very difficult and lonely because no matter how hard you try to connect emotionally with a person who is this way, they are not capable of doing it, and it could turn into a huge barrier in your relationship that builds up resentments and negative thoughts or feelings.
