I assume he expects you to listen to, and understand him. Why is reciprocating so hard for so many men? Call me cynical but I believe that many men secretly find their female partner's emotions boring and a little beneath them. Thirty odd years of feminism hasn't really done much. If he is loving and caring in other ways then count yourself lucky and find emotional release with female friends. If he is emotionally withholding most of the time then that is a power play designed to keep you off balance and in your place - beneath him. Emotionally Unavailable! Yes, we are not all the same. Italians are more emotional than Finns. Women are more emotional than men. In today's society we express more emotions than in past societies. So you must realize that lack of emotional expression can have many causes. Parents, culture, sex! But expression ones emotions is a two-edged sword.There are certain benefits but also possible disadvantages to expressing emotions. The advantage lies in the fact that to experience another person's emotiions allows a more open relationship. But, on the other hand, the expression of anger ( also an emotion ) carries with it certain dangers that can only be eliminated by a prior agreement to accept its expression.

Can someone who is on anti depressant medication get into any of the branches in the armed forces?

It depends on the reason for taking it; if it's just for simple depression and the person is not being actively treated for an underlying condition, you'd need to be clear of meds for 6 months. If a person is being actively treated for an underlying personality or behavioral disorder, then no, that's an automatic disqualifier, unless the person hasn't been treated within a year. Even then, personality and behavior disorders are heavily scrutinized during entrance evaluations. You can read the list of Medical DQ's pertaining to the subject at the link below.
