I can understand your frustration... its typical guy would react
that way, it doesn't mean that they don't care, but they handle it
differently unlike gals, preferring to be pamer once in a while,
hugging, comforting, a little this and that, can some times lift
your mood to a higher plane, or just kill of your enthusiasm. It
takes time for him to develop if ever he wants to shower your with
his affection in the manner you wish for. I had learnt for years as
I had never given it a thought about such things my wife, just like
you, yearn for. In fact, it dawn upon me that my expectation of you
should be even more understanding since you have me as partner...
so for years.... just like you....
Don't ask me what makes me turn around, I don't even realise when I
started paying attention to such things, probably the last few
years.... family maybe .. children... She complain alot as she
stopped work to look after the children... And I, for one,
deteremine to prove to her its not as bad if I can handle the
children and housework at the same time, so can she... and if she
fails, I can make contingency plan and necessary course of
action.... I guess that's started it all... somewhat
sub-consciously, I "evolved"...
So hope you can understand him and do communicate, be patient as
its a life long committment. She used to complain whenever she
needed someone to comfort/console her, I never stretch out my arms
to warm her, instead, sometimes lash out at her reaction..... then
you know what happen next, alright?
... one day... just one day, should someting happen.. Mine was
alittle too late...sigh... But better than not...
