    [quote=”cariboomedic”]I am in the exact same situation… I want more affection from my boyfriend of 1 year. I have asked him to kiss me more, etc. He won’t actually sleep with me or touch me even though we sleep in the same bed every night. When I try and talk to him he shuts up or gets mad. I am about to decide between him and a really good job that I enjoy alot, and if i can’t get him to talk to me about our relationship etc, I’m going to have to keep the job. I hope you get some good advice that i can use too..
    Btw… I’m 31 and hes 25…[/quote]

    I definitely feel for you, it’s tough isn’t it? It’s almost like you feel it was something you did wrong, and you just feel so starved for affection that it hurts sometimes. But I’m telling you it’s nothing we did wrong, I think they just have their own issues they need to work out. I don’t know about you, but I’m happy to help him but he’s got to give some effort too, and show some improvement.
    I must say I’m glad that there is an outlet like this site where people like you and me can go and try to get some direction in a crazy situation. I do hope things get better for you, and some good advice is posted that we can both use. Good luck, and keep your head up!

    I’m 21, he is 29 and we’re both divorced. We are both a bit jaded but I feel he let’s his past affect him far more than I do. He holds on to the past and let’s it fester within himself. Which I’ve also tried to talk to him about with no avail.
    It’s hard to pin-point the exact time I started to feel unhappy, but I think it was shortly after we moved in together which was about a year ago. I haven’t really acknowledged these feelings until now because I thought I could get it worked out and the feeling of unhappiness comes and goes, but when it goes it always comes back. Which is why I’m examining it closely now, because I’m at a point now where it feels like its been so long and nothing has changed.
