Me 25F him 28M Hi guys so I’m in a relationship of 6 years and my partner still won’t give me any affection. I don’t get it he was raised in a nuclear household that he likes to call out btw. Raised by a very nurturing mother who always gave him affection but he doesn’t seem to know how to give any. He’s very alpha male and thinks a masculine guy cannot give any affection which is killing me cause I feel like they can be both masculine and affectionate. When I tell u guys no words of affirmation no physical touch unless sex is involved. He can come back home for years with the same haircut after his trip to the barber shop and I’ll start complimenting him always even when he was overweight and didn’t start gym yet I always had stars in my eyes. I don’t get no compliments when I do a new hairstyle or dress nice. He keeps on saying he’s going to change but starts for 2 days and on day 4 back to the usual it has been exhausting honestly. Cause it just makes me angry and less feminine towards him cause I’m just so hurt by him that I can’t get something that should be normal in a relationship. I’m really thinking on breaking up with him. Would hate to get married and have kids only for them to see their parents unhappy u know what I mean…? I just feel like the leech in the relationship constantly showering him while he just sits and receives and says providing and being the man is enough. And affirmation and physical touch are for women and men who do are emotional men (impatient, get heated quickly….). I find I don’t deserve this I’m non combative, I let him lead etc everything a masculine man wants but he just won’t give me that. Is it because we’re too much in each other faces we do a lot together very attached to the hip? That’s what he said. We go to the gym together, play video games together literally everything. submitted by /u/UniversityOnly1917
