Are you affectionate and your significant other is not?

My husband is very affectionate, but I was raised not to be. It was hard at first, but with some work it can be changed. Affection is a good thing, and I realize that now :)

Its up to the one who is the affectionate one to help out the other.

Intimacy is a good thing and is in the human nature to be affectionate even though some resist not be or try to hide it for no reason. Work with him / her to make him over come that.

It can be solved so don't give up on each other...The affectionate one must never quit being so. That way the other will discover its much better to show intimacy.

Affection is not something you're born with. Maybe your man is raised in a home where no affection was shown. Normally such people are shy to become demonstrative. But be patient, in time he'll take the cue from you and come around!

My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 years.He used to be really and I mean really affectionate.Always kissing me and stroking my hair.Now hes stopped kissing me in morning or at night. Unless I mention it to him.Then he kisses me.I tell him its no good if I have to ask for a kiss.So I am having a hard time dealing with it.It makes me feel unloved,not to mention unattractive any longer.It makes me sad to think I might have to spend the rest of my life with him feeling the way I do.It also makes me sad to think I might have to leave the relationship to find someone else to love me like I want to be loved But,we all deserve to be loved and feel that love.I was in a marriage for 20yrs. It was loveless for many years.I finally left it behind me to search for love.Its getting to the point where I feel I may have to leave this relationship also.I'm 45yrs. old but,that doesn't mean I'm to old to be loved.Now does it?If you are feeling that away Good Luck and remember we all have a right to be loved and Feel! That love.

Sounds like the significant other may be afraid of intimacy.

We both are affectionate to each other

Yes and not well.
