DH bored by extended affection

Anonymous
We've been together for 13 years and for a while were trudging along like friendly roommates with occasional sex. We both weren't happy with that, so we've been making more of an effort to be affectionate. I am finding that he seems to get bored by any kind of extended affection and wants to stop quickly - i.e. cuddling for one minute, kissing beyond pecks if sex isn't going to happen, hugs are only a few seconds. Am I expecting too much to want more than that? If not, how should I communicate that?

That’s seems pretty normal. My husband is like that but he does say sweet things to me.

I think that's pretty normal.

I’m like your husband and my husband is like you. My compromise is a longer cuddle right when we go to bed. I hate long kisses.

DH and I have been married same length of time. I’m really only interested in affection if it’s leading to sex. I have zero interest in hanging around for long lingering kisses just because. I think I’m normal but who knows.
