> It's hard for me, even when I'm alone. I tend to be sort of schizotypal/Aspergerish unless I really really work at accessing my emotions. It's not just an effort to be myself when with others. It's an effort to be myself when I'm with myself.

Maybe I should stop trying to be emotional and start trying to be myself. :)I don't think labels like schizotypy or Asperger's are helpful. How about naive? Ignorant, in the true core sense, of just not knowing? Your husband's characteristic "shoulding" on you has facilitated your own tendency to not feel. There's a whole lot of interaction with your environment on this issue.
