Hi
H shows the dc lots of affection - nice things said / hugs / sitting close together entwined on the sofa...
He does not touch me or say anything nice though after a bad patch which lasted a while, we are getting on ok (though I have to work hard at keeping some of the difficult parts of his personality at bay) and can sometimes even chat for ages.
We probably sleep together about once a month and that is affectionate when it happens.
The lack of affections generally makes me feel unwanted / unattractive however. Especially when I witness how he is with the dc. I think he must see me as "old" but on the other hand he is 12 years older than me so . I am 46, he is 58.
We have been together for 19 years and he has been like this for a long time. I found one of my posts from 5 years ago where I am basically saying the same thing .
