Q: New Marriage Question
asked by: cloudchick407 on May 2nd, 2007

I recently got married in november. 06. Everything was great and I have every physical and material need met. However, I am a very affectionate and lively person and need that emotional support all the time and my new hubby is not. He purposely chooses not to do things that he knows will make me happy or that I will like just to make me upset or to see how I will react. I realized now that I should have probably waited a little longer to get married to go out and experience the world being that I am only 20. But sometimes I feel like he's another parent and that I have to get attention from other men. I love him very much but I get really lonely when he doesn't show any type of affection. I'm not sure what I should do. I've tried talking to him about it and all he tells me is thats the way he is and just accept it. Should I just learn to deal with it?

How long were you two together before you got married? Isn't this something that you should have realized before you did get married? You had to have know what he was like and how affectionate he was unless he put up a front. Guys aren't always as affectionate as women are. Just keep trying to talk to him. My husband and I have been married for about a year but we have been together for five years We're young too. I'm 22 and he's 24.

All I can say is keep talking and tell him how you feel. You both took vows so you need to try and work this out.

early marriage probably is taking its toll on both of you. Well, you should've known in the first place that he's not that affectionate. You should've not jumped into a decision immediately to marry him if you don't know him from head to foot. Now you guys are married and there's no turning back.

The least thing that you could do is to communicate. Sounds very cliche but still holds true in any relationship. Try to talk to him that what he does hurt you. Talk to him that you like him to be this or that but not to the extent of forcing him into doing something he's not willing to do. There are men who are like that, very firm with whatever they are. But if you man truly loves you, then he'll change not just for you, but also for him, and ulitmately for you marriage.
