My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 months now and there is something terribly wrong. He cant be affectionate either alone or in public. This is something that has been happening for 5 months tomorrow. Before that he wasn't afraid to take me, or cop a feel in the kitchen. He doesn't realize that I need to be physical to feel human. My family would hug anyone, anytime they needed it that is how I was raised. He didn't have a problem in the beginning, now I know that I am being taken for granted and that I am a convience for him. Unless someone out there can explain what is so wrong with a hug of appriciation, or even a peck on the the cheek without being bribed with something!! I literally feel like I am sufocating or drowning or something. I am not a cheater nor will this man turn me into one, but he wont talk, he wont even brush my skin with a slight touch as he goes by me in the house. If I touch him in bed, or even to get around him in tight places he cringes, and snaps at me not to touch him, or just snaps out DON'T. He's 37 years old I am 33 and we were friends before we started dating he mentioned in that time, all the women he's been with change when things get serious. He's the one that has changed and it's killing me.
