My husband of 10 years is not very physically affectionate. When I initiate he enjoys it, but he rarely initiates himself. He rarely touches me outside of sex at all. He’s very good at showing his love with acts of service. When I flirt with him, he immediately flirts back. He’s very affectionate when we’re intimate. But he rarely offers romantic affection—verbal or physical—without receiving it first. He is extremely affectionate with our dog, so I know he has the capacity. What is the norm for you? Do you kiss your wives everyday? Do you notice things you love about them and tell them? Do you feel the urge to pull them close? Do you initiate one-on-one time/ dates? Do you ever feel like you adore them? In what ways do you show your love? submitted by /u/palebludot_bk
