I am affectionate, my partner is not, I always feel neglected, what can I do ?

I know how u feel. I am the same way. When my boyfriend and i just started our relationship, i know he wasnt into affectionate gestures in public. Like holding hands, hugging, kissing , or any special sweet gestures in public. I thought im ok with that even if i prefer he is affectionate. But later on, i started to feel bad when i try to hold his hands in the mall but all he can do is feel awkward and say he isnt into that. Or if i hold his elbows when walking. I even wish he would show a little amount of gestures here and there like putting his hand on my lower back or elbows or whatever. I started to pout and finally complained about it one day. I told him that i wish he would. Just for a few minutes is ok. He didnt need to feel forced but jst a little u know.. I gave him time and u know what he did.. Here and there he placed his hand behind my back when walking or even crossing the street. Holds my hand for maybe 5minutes Lol and i truly appreciated it. It is good after all to tell him honestly what u want rather than keep it to urself.

If your partner is not affectionate, you should get used to it if you want to stay with him. I dated the same type of guy and as long as he can stand your being affectionate, that should be enough. There are people who are like that and don't want to change even if you beg them... so make the most of your relationship and get over feeling neglected because you have him in your life.

All such contradictions come in a married life and it is our part to adjust with such things.Try to show happiness when ever your partner brings or presents you something and give him more than one teaspoon of love a day after he returns from office..all the best

Hmmm...I understand how you feel being a woman. I know we have that need to feel loved and important by our husband. I do hope that he could be more affectionate to you. Try to tell him more about it and that you are feeling sad and you felt like you are not loved. Maybe you would realize and be more expressive to you next time. Good luck!
