Is it normal that my boyfriend shows no emotion?

It's soo annoying my ex is exactly like that!!

If he's been in the army i can understand him being as emotionless as a brick wall... sadly thats how it'll be for a while it takes years and years for men who have seen people die and killed people to recover emotionally hes going through a similar thing to you at the moment. They reckon when a mans in the army when he comes out part of his soul is missing and i'd reckon that would be the emotionless part to him... sadly only major things will trigger emotions in him things that'll bring him real joy and happiness... like a baby perhaps i'm not sure don't hold me to my word. It's just a suggestion seeing as i reckon the side to him with emotions is locked away until he fully trusts himself to let them go seeing as the army drills into you to not have any emotion... at all. And im guessing it was a major part of his life and thats very hard to forget you'll just have to give him time as far as i can suggest =/
Frank...:)

Hey, if you love him ask him why...if not see a different guy, like ... say me? lol

Okay, My fiance is the same way. He is a very respected and respectful guy, and seems to always know what to say in any situation. He has the ability to take emotion out of every situation as well which ultimately allows him to see things more clearly. I think its a great thing and most people could benefit from our over emotional society of radical responses, however, I get what you are saying "brick wall" because there are times, as great as he is, i feel something missing, sort of like we are disconnected at times in a way i cannot describe. And as great as he is, i sometimes get a little bored with his ever so predicatable responses and behavior and wonder if it will be enough long turn, the quirks or life and laughter is often the silliest of emotions, not a lifeless monotone energy at all times. I also blame some of this on his innocence and lack of dating experience, guess sometimes we have to accept them for who they are and take some bad with the good. If its enough for you and you are happy, then accept him. If you ever find yourself asking questions or thinking of being with someone else, or that you are just not as into him as before, then it is time to cut ties. the sooner you realize this the better it will be for the both of you, trust me.

God i. Had a bf like that -,- frikkin emo prick, but idont think thats the case here..
One word. Army'sAB!tch

He is gonna develop major mental issues over time.
If you feel like dealing with that kind of thing get over the shallow part of him and just accept him for who he is.If not,find yourself an emo guy.
You'll get plenty of emotional responses.

ARMY enough saidthe reason they are called GI Joes they are not imporant miltiary issued and not aloud to feel it gets in the way of their job if he's a good man and you love stick to his side let him know not just with your words but your actions too that you care you are his battle buddy and you have his back no matter what he will open up but before you do ask yourself if you can handle his stories it's only fair to the both of you if you don't want to really know how bad it is don't start the emo waterfall i've been with more then my husbend, bro,friends

I think the word you are looking for is this: shallow. Emotionally, intellectually etc.. There's nothing else behind the door or wall.

Trust yourself: he really is just all you see & experience, and that's what you will 0get. if that's what you want.

So what do you want? Apparently, its not this guy. Move on. He'll find someone else who is happy with who he is. You just want something more, and that's OK too.

i could never be with some one so unresponsive, the best part about a relationship is the deep emotional connection....with out that closeness, how do u even manage to have any kind of feeling for him?

I pretty much dealt with a guy like that. I mean when you love someone it's hard to leave them. I just can foresee you not being emotionally satisfied. I think you either can work with him, get him help, or work on being friends instead. It will take time, of course, but if you really want to be with him-it's worth it. Good luck!

Why have you ever been bothering with that for a year? Not trying to be rude, but I'm just curious as to why you would spend a year dating a brick wall??
