To want someone to...

[pudgypuddingpie]

...hold me, stroke my hair and tell me that everything will be ok? Dh is cold and I feel starved of affection. So sad at the moment.

Name changing regular here.

I'm really sorry you're feeling so sad.

No, it's not unreasonable at all. It's a basic human need and I am sorry your husband is cold.

Has he always been or is something currently happening? Have you told him how you feel?

Hugs. Do you have someone who rl who hug you tight and let yiu know you are loved, matter and everything will be ok. Is your dh with cold or acting cold? xxxxxxxxxx

t will be ok because you can make it that way
how long has dh been like this

i doubt everything will be ok if your DH never changes.
why are you with him if he's cold?

Well I can't strike your hair obviously but I can tell you for sure, without any doubt that things will turn out ok. One way or another it'll be ok. Look up mindfulness, it really helps

Thank you. I know dh loves me but he's not very good at communication or affection. He's been cold all weekend. He works hard all week so is constantly tired and miserable. I've had pnd and I'm just feeling so lonely and starved of affection. I have other people who love me but I don't want to bother them. I might call the samaritans x

If anyone is in Brighton and would like to give me a hug let me know!

OP - hugs from me. If it helps at all, my Dh is always saying I'm cold and not affectionate. It shocks me, because that's not how I feel. I desperately love Dh and the dc,, I just sometimes don't think about actually physically demonstrating it. Keep telling him until he gets the picture.

I was going to say what Bowlersarm said. Some people aren't very good at showing their feelings. Your DH probably thinks that as he loves you thats enough. What happens if you ask for a cuddle or a kiss? Does he oblige or pull away?
