I find it really odd that we know each other well enough to be great Apples-to-Apples partners, but when I get upset, he doesn't know enough about me to know all he has to do is give me a hug and a kiss, and I don't know him well enough to figure out why he won't. This is a consistent problem. This happens every time he's not in the mood to do cuddly stuff. I can totally understand not being in the mood to be too physical. I understand that entirely. Happens to me too. But I'm always in the mood for a kiss. That's a totally different thing. It's an innocent show of affection.
And that's all I really want, that I get upset about not getting. I really need affection. Kissing, hand-holding, playing with hair, back massages. Lying next to each other is really nice, but that's so passive; I prefer something active. I get very anxious when he says he loves me but then doesn't hug or kiss me. It feels like a lie, even if I know it's not.
