non affection husband?

I've been married for 1.5 years.

my husband lately has said being affectionant makes him uncomfortable. He has before in the past, said this as well. I am one of those people that craves, and needs attention in order to function properly. May sound strange but i was battling depression before i met him and he made me happy. When he shows his affection it makes me happy, when he doesn't im sad, depressed, suicidal thoughts (not tendancies). He went away for 3 weeks for work, and i was so happy when he came home, because i knew he missed me because he showed it. Anyways, rambling on here.

I feel its partly my fault because sex is painful for me and i dont want to do it alot, so i turned him down, that was over 3 weeks ago. and he has hardly touched me since. (working with docs to fix)

I KNOW for Sure he isn't cheating or anything.

Can he change?, it might be just a funk

What do i say>? i told him I NEED not want affection.

sorry, for rambling on...

Before i basically had threaten to leave and then he was scared he was going to lose me and he changed, before

Update:

Oh i pleasure him in other ways, but lately he wont let me touch him

Update 2:

I Dont know what to do

i try being super nice, and cuddly and lovey dovey

i try just hanging out and being all friendly

i try ignoring him

its hard to hug some one when they hardly hug you back

    It really breaks my heart to hear you craving for sex and affection. I want you to know if there's anything I can do to help you get over this I will. Needless to say my thoughts are only to help you cope with his rejection. I ask nothing in return.

    I realize my answer is not a permanent solution, so you might just want to follow the advice of the other answers. to your question. I did enjoy putting this answer up, it's meant to be funny, hope you got a chuckle from it.

    Good Luck - God Bless

    well you love him right? instead of threats and demands, sit down and talk. you guys are married. Conversation should be a big part of this relationship. Reach compromises. Show some affection but not all. As to the sex, I cant really help you but i will tell my friend about it and he can help with that. Maybe you can pleasure him in other ways. I know you may not want to, and i am not saying to do anything you dintt feel comfortable doing.a lott ofmarriagess go sower when the sex is dull or gets old. (imeann wedint't get married for sex, but we are all humans.) My best advice is conversation.

    You knew this side of him 'going in'. It's hard to change the rules when the game has started. You have what you married. By the way, your parents can't tell you what they want as far as your marriage is concerned. You are an adult, you have to make your own decision. If they want to see how marriage with your husband will turn out, then let them marry him. Do what you feel will be right for you and your children.

    its really torturous of him..how can being affectionate just make a person uncomfortable.life without sweet emotions is useless.

    i cant help u but u are really in a bad environment.

    i hope you get some expert advice on yahoo answers and have a loving life

    but ya i would suggest u not to threaten him this will only weaken your strings...

    maybe there is something from his past due to which he has this problem go deep into the things and think of the solution accordingly

    Honey u not being fair. what about his needs? what about his need for physical intimacy?

    i know u seeing doctors to fix this but hon' u hardly have room to demand here. he has given u the affection u needed but u rejected the intamcy he needed..now he has taken that away because this situation is not balanced..

    where women needs to be shown affection by hugs, kisses and words men needs demonstration through making love..so try and get your problem sorted fast and u may just get ur affectionate husband back

  • Men base their self esteem and acceptance on sex. He probably did feel rejected when you didn't want it 3 weeks ago. If it is painful for you and you don't need to climax, I would pursue him. Let him know that you find him sexy and give him a hand or ******** or something. Once he feels accepted then he should give you the same affection in return. If he doesn't then you need to talk to him and let him know that it's part of your needs to feel loved like his needs sexually.

    If u don't allow him to do sex then how do u expect him to be affectionate to u. Physical intimacy is necessary to keep a hold on your man. If sex is painful to u, better to take medical help.

    U can do alternate oral sex to please him, maybe give him a ********, maybe fellatio.

    There r many ways to please a man, when u have pain down there, take the trouble to find what he needs, what he fantasizes and get to work.

    It sounds like some counseling would help before you get depressed from all his rejection. If he won't go then you should go individually for emotional support and guidance.

    There could be a physical thing that is making sex hurt for you. Go see an OBGYN and see if there is a correction method for this.
