[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]

We've been together 10 years.  It bothered me in the beginning but then I just sort of accepted it and did other things to fill up my time.  Not sure what has changed since then, but it seems like there is a void that has been growing.  It makes me sad and I am worried that if my feelings continue on this tragectory, I may end up resenting him instead of loving him :( [/quote]
