My boyfriend and i have been together for 8 months, he says i love you to me but only gives me affection when i innicaiate it, when we are together he will hold my hand and kiss me and when i want to fool around he always does but he doesn't like cuddeling and never gives me kisses unless i kiss him first. he knows how much i care about us and is always considerate of my feelings. i am so tired of wanting more affection, i should be happy that i have such a good person in my life but it's breaking my heart, i wake up crying and sometimes cry myself to sleep wanting more from this relationship. maybe i'm a hopeless romantic but i do not like smothering people cause that never works out.

    Well, if you're not happy you should leave him. You don't have kids together so there's nothing keeping you tied to him. If its just "Oh, I love him so much" that's weak. Guys will only treat you the way you allow them to, so either woman up & leave or stop whining about it.

    Yeah and im sick of people like yo avoiding what this site is suppost to be about and just sending in relationship stories that are 100% normal that no one cares about. What do you want us to do go "awww poor you" grow up users like you are pathetic.

    I feel sorry for you but some guys are like that you can't change them maybe he's just a cold kinda guy if you know deep in your heart that he loves you stick around but there's always a possibility that he's just into you for the sex

    If I were you I would leave him I know it's hard I just broke up with my bf today... It's hard but at least you can find someone who is really right for you

    to be honest hunny ur best bet is to sit down and try and talk it out if he can justify really well why he is like that and is willing to man up then give him another chance for about 2 weeks if u dont see any change or an attemt to change then darling u need to get urself out of there but yes it is normal for men to be unable to show to women how they feel i dont know why but then again im female i know how u feel my boyfriend of a year still doesnt show he loves me but says it all the time he is getting a little better maybe all u need is patients and strenght but frist tell him how u feel thats most important

    I understand where you're coming from perfectly. I had a girlfriend who initiated everything, I said I was always game whenever she was up to do stuff. Bad move. She was the touchy type and I was more of the talking type. Didn't work. It's normal to be dissatisfied with a relationship..
