Is it normal? Or do we have a problem?

So, me and my husband have been together more than 10 years together. We're generally happy. We have a kid between us and dh is genuine and nice person. (We sometimes have arguments but that's very normal in relationship I believe.)
My question is... He doesn't cuddle me anymore when we sleep. We definitely have less sexual activities than before kid and that's fair enough as we both tired and it's not like I can't live without sex. But he not hugging me or showing me that he wants to cuddle me in bed kind of hurts my feeling. I feel not loved.
I addressed him this situation and my feeling, but nothing has changed. If I say that we don't hug, kiss, sex... sometimes he answers that it's not ture and sometimes he says that I put pressure on him. I generally feel like we don't even talk to eachother much and he doesn't show me much affection like he used to do. I understand things can't stay the same forever, but is it normal? I don't know what to do. I want be loved but then I don't want to try either as
I feel like my ego got hurt by my previous failed attempts. Xx

I would find the not talking to one another more of an issue to be honest.

I've been with DH for almost 20 years and we still talk but bedtime is bedtime...we're both so knackered and both like space so we're not cuddling then. I think that's not unusual in couples who are busy and tired but you do need to make time to cuddle and talk during the day.

I would speak to him again....tell him badly that you're not happy. Tell him what you need.

If he's still not responding, then consider counselling.
