[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have you been together? Early on in my relationship with my DH I didn't feel he was as intense about me as I was about him. When we'd be driving in a car he wouldn't say a word to me so I assumed he was upset about something. It turns out he never talks when he drives because he wants to concentrate. He'd get home from work and I wanted a big hug and to chat and he just wanted a drink and relax. It turns out after a long day and a terrible commute he just needed to catch his breath. My point is that in the first 5+ years of our relationship I was often confused by his actions and that he was not as in to me as I was in to him. Over time I figured this out and come to realize that he really did love me even if he wasn't as intense about it as me. And, he's become much better at showing signs of affection as he's learned more about me. We've been married 30 years so we've really both moved more toward the middle. I'm not as anxious/needy as I once was and he is far more giving/effusive than he once was. There was no aha moment, just growing together. Very important is that from day 1 he has always been very loving in bed![/quote]

My DH and I have a very similar relationship. When we were dating he rarely held my hand and I wondered why not? 20 years later he's still not a hand holder but we are very in love. Men are different, people are different. You just need to know that those differences aren't bad. You just need to learn to live with them. [/quote]
