[color=#8080FF]April, thank you so much for your honesty. I understand what you are telling me and I am trying very hard to face the truth yet I do have faith that things will get better. He is trying and showed me more affection the last two days as a result of something I told him. I was very depressed and he wanted to know what was wrong and I told him I felt what I tell him goes in one ear and out the other, that I didn’t want us to fuss and that I didn’t know what I was going to do. About 15 minutes later he stopped what he was doing, came and sat down right by me and we cuddled. I did look him in the eyes and thanked him for making the effort, that it made me feel so much better and that it was exactly what I needed…an affection fix. He perked up and our evening turned out really nice. He wants to do better I just think, like his siter told me, he doesn’t know any other way and that I need to show him and tell him what I want. I am willing to continue to love him and ask for affection and I really feel in my heart he can become a more affectionate person, because I know for a fact people can change if they want to bad enough…I have witnessed it and I know he wants to make me happy and in turn he will be happier too. His sister also told me he is reluctant in many ways because of the women in his past that used him and hurt him so much. He told me I am his Angel and that I am healing him. Now THAT is a great compliment. Thanks again for your advice, God bless you! 😀[/color]
