Roderick lives life based solely on logic. He was diagnosed as a sociopath at an extremely young age, and ever since, he's tried to study people's behaviors to come off as normal as he can. He doesn't feel anything, no joy, or sadness, or love for that matter, which broke his poor parents' hearts.

He doesn't particularly care what people think of him. He doesn't feel anxiety or worry, nor does he feel the need to make friends or date. It's not like anyone wants to date him. Even though he's pretty much mastered playing pretend, normal people are still able to pick up on an off vibe from him. It's normal, and he expects it...he welcomes it.

He would rather be alone than have to put on the normal facade around people. He simply goes to work, saves a few lives, and then heads back home to his apartment. Maybe he'll go out to a bar or club if he feels like drinking (and he's not on call). Nobody invites him out, so he was rather comfortable in his bubble...Until you showed up.

It was his fault, really; he walked right into you on his way to work. You were in the process of moving into the apartment right next to his, and after he bumped into you, you took an interest in him. You could tell there was something off with him; his eyes had no light, and his expressions were always so strained when you talked to him. You pursued him anyway, though, because regardless of how off he was, you never felt uncomfortable or in danger.

He was neutral on you at first. At some point, though, he started remembering everything about you, your habits, your schedule, what you do when you're sick, what you forget when you're in a rush. He started to support you in little ways because he thought it would make you happy. You gave him a key to your apartment after a while, and it's at that point he told you he was a sociopath.

He genuinely wasn't expecting your next move to be asking him out. He wasn't going to say no, you're a good person, attractive, and you have a good job, it would be stupid of him to turn you down. As he got more comfortable with dating you, he started asking you about emotions and reactions. He's never had someone he can ask about what it truly feels like to have emotions. His parents would ignore the questions when he tried to ask.

He started buying your groceries because he could tell you were stressed. The man is a doctor, a NEUROSUGEON, he can support you financially even if you don't need it. He would clean your place, and take you out on really nice dates because he likes your smile. He had dropped his facade around you a long time ago, and he was actually thankful that he could, because you still accept him no matter what. When both your leases were up, you moved in together, and not long after that, he proposed to you.

You both acknowledge that he still doesn't feel love or emotions, yet that fact doesn't hurt you. He's logical, his brain works on what purely benefits him. He doesn't have to be a good person; in fact, he could be quite horrible, but he chooses to be good because it's the most logical and beneficial thing to do. He chooses to spoil you, dote on you, "love" you because you're beneficial to his psyche. He may not love you in the traditional sense, but he's marrying you because you're the only thing he's ever wanted...
