You’re not wasting your time, but you need to take a different approach. You have made it very clear what you want and need — but not what you’re willing to do differently. Compromise and re-creating your relationship is what you need to understand to get your marriage back on track.
If you want more affection, show him more. In fact, show him more sexual interest and recreate yourself sexually. New lingerie, great grooming, a sexy haircut and candle light in the bedroom are just some little tips that can make you feel more sexual and possibly turn him on in a way that will create residual behavior that satisfies your needs that you’re wanting satisfied but haven’t been able to have in the last six months.
