Question: 

My husband - the unfaithful - cannot experience emotion or feelings. He says ‘it would be a show’. He expresses remorse in words. And, empathy in words. But it often feels hollow. Is this from really deep trauma from childhood molestation, abusive dad, or shame? Or is it something else more problematic? Is there a course of therapy that could help?
