Hi everyone, So to cut a long story short my partner is very different to me and we are basically pretty much the opposite of each other in most ways, for instance, he loves drinking most days of the week (going to the pub with his mates and drinking at home too), where as I'm more of a drink on an occasion type of girl and he will often get drunk and ill be sat there sober which can be quite an awkward feeling. Other ways we are different are I'm quite an affectionate person, and he really isn't and this is the main difference that really upsets me, he doesn't ever kiss me or just hug me I have to ask for those things, he never ever wants cuddles in bed and as for sex , what's that? :( all I want is some loving and affection. I want to feel sexy and wanted but he just isn't into anything of the sort. He would rather fall asleep on the sofa than come to bed with me and it makes me feel so low. Don't get me wrong we have gone through phases where he has wanted me and wanted sex but it's very rare, he's told me he just isn't into sex much and rarely feels in the mood and he doesn't particular like kissing and hugs because he thinks it's too soppy. But all I am asking for is to feel like his girlfriend surely I'm not asking for too much am I? :( I find myself crying some nights because I'm so sexually frustrated and not even just that but a kiss and a cuddle would be so nice . I've stopped asking him because it just annoys him I think. Baring in mind, I'm 26 and he's only 28 so still young and we've been together for just short of 2 years so not that long, he's been in relationships with woman before where unfortunately they've not been very nice to him and I feel asif because of what's happend to him in the past, he's totally distancing himself from me and any affection incase I turn out like the other woman he's been with but in my opinion thats not very fair because I deserve to be loved and wanted.
Is this normal to feel this way? :( is anyone else's partner similar to this? I don't want to carry on feeling this sad and feeling like I'm begging for his attention/his love. He tells me he loves me, but just doesn't show it.
Any advice would be so appreciated, thank you x
