Is it normal to wish my boyfriend was more affectionate?

6 Comments

I've been with my boyfriend for over three months now, and he's like a complete brick wall emotionally. I try being affectionate towards him, and I get very little in return. I know he cares about me, I guess it's just not normal for him, as he's never had a boyfriend before and he's not used to it yet. I feel that I'm being silly about this, but it bothers me and I'm not sure what to do. Is it normal? Should I do/say something?

    Are you a gay couple? You should Feel at liberty to talk to him about it... He may not even realise he is being like that... Communication is the moat vital thing in a relationship!

      We are, and I realize communication is important, but I feel like I'm being too needy and just end up pushing away. I don't even know how I would bring it up.

    Has he been that way since you've met him? It is interesting that you jumped into a relationship with someone you weren't getting affection from in the first place.
    If someone was acting like that right off the bat I'd assume they weren't really even into me.
