<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I've been married for two years, together with my husband for ten. He's a full-time programmer and works pretty long hours the majority of the time. He was raised in an environment where emotions/thoughts weren't expressed in conflict, and has rather authoritative parents. I am very close with my parents and am able to discuss issues, feelings, and thoughts calmly when we don't see eye to eye. 

My husband compartmentalizes issues, but has trouble facing them, if that makes sense. We can discuss and sometimes do come up with a solution, but major issues are put away, often not being brought up again. He can go to bed and the next morning he'll forget about the previous days' conflict. 

I think it's his self defense mechanism. He often clams up, and/or will become increasingly desensitized to the issue. He never raises his voice at me, and I have NEVER seen him cry. It doesn't help that he feels that he needs to be strong for the both of us, because of my depression and anxiety. I want to be there for him, but he places my well-being before his. 

My husband is very kind-natured. He treats me well and only goes quiet when he is sad or upset, but I feel like he's a ticking time bomb. I'm afraid for when he inevitably becomes a robot and a mere husk of a his former self. :(
<bot>: When confronted with major issues, my husband mentally/emotionally shuts down and is incapable of coping and facing them.
