well... i guess just because having and raising a child is a labor of love. Being affectionate per se wouldn't be required, just something to let them know you care.
Fine. But if I let them know that I appreciate them and "care," and that makes them start bombarding me with love and affection for several days, I'm going to find you and strangle you with a rubber band.
Not at all. I love cats. I also like kids, am good with them, and could happily spend an entire day with a kid. I enjoy giving and receiving affection with girlfriends but with boundaries. Certain levels of affection freak me out.
Example: The lights were on. Me and gf were in bed. She decided to get on top of me, grab some lotion, and give me a chest/shoulder massage, all while looking at me dead straight in the eyes. We've had sex and had physical intimacy many times but this moment felt the most intimate and on a "real" level and freaked the hell out of me. I remember telling her to stop for some made-up reason.
IIN I'm waiting for when my parents pass away so I can love them?

You got me.
Example: The lights were on. Me and gf were in bed. She decided to get on top of me, grab some lotion, and give me a chest/shoulder massage, all while looking at me dead straight in the eyes.
