I Am Very Affectionate

I am incredibly affectionate. I love holding hands, touching, kissing, etc. etc. but my significant other just isn't the same way.

I love him madly but in those dark recesses of my mind I wonder if I will survive with a man who loves me but can't show it.

Know how you feel. My wife seems to forget I'm there until she wants something. But if I want something I'm just being selfish. It makes me wonder as well. If I don't tell her I love her she gets worried and upset. And yet I'm just supposed to believe she loves me by the fact she is there.
That being said I can say this. You can live with it. If you want to. If you don't want to live with it then you wont.

@djjohnson: He says exactly the same thing! I should know he loves me because he's there! I'm not wired like that :(

Neither am I. But then she says it wrong to try and change her, all the while asking me to change.
