[quote=Anonymous]Expectation too high? Who knows, only you can say. 
However, I do think that if he's actually uncomfortable doing what you want him to do (as opposed to fine with the concept, but needs to learn to remember to do it), then it's probably not fair to expect him to often be uncomfortable for the purpose of making you feel better. So you'd have to either drastically cut down on your expectations or move on to someone with whom you are more compatible.

And the other thing is to remember that this, right now, is the best you can expect. It is usually the case (I know, not always, but usually), that things like physical and verbal expressions of love go down (or become more rote) over the course of a long relationship, maybe you can expect that it might stay the same. But increasing? Hardly ever. All to say, if you aren't satisfied now, its hard to envision the world where you are content.

And last, why does saying words of affirmation make him uncomfortable? If he's interested, maybe he can do some emotional reflection around that and try to fix it.[/quote]
