hi
i am a 32 year old wife and mother, i have been married to my husband for 13 years. on the whole my husband is a very good man. the only problem i have is that he seems unable to show me any kind of affection, this has been going on for about four years now, i have discussed my feelings with him on a regular basis, i have asked him to see a counseler with me, but he just says he doesn't think we have a problem. last night i decided that i could do with a night out so i got dressed up, put on makeup and made a big effort. all i wanted was for him to say wow you look good, but he couldn't even do that. i am really starting to crave some affection / flattery. but dont feel it is going to happen whilst im here, i am not sure how much longer i can cope with this i feel life is slipping me by and in a few years i will still be sat here thinking the same thing. am i being selfish, and put up with him and be thankful for what i got or do i leave him and get myself a life back before its to late.
any advise greatly recieved.
cheers
