My live in boyfriend is not very affectionate. What could be the problem?

Question: I use to date this guy about 11 years ago. He was actually my first love and i was his. And now after all these years we're finally together. But he has changed so much in the afection part. Now he hardly ever kisses me, even when we make love. He tells me he loves me everyday, but it's usually just when he leaves to go somewhere. He use to always be affectionate in the public to but now he's not. He has just changed so much over the years and it is really a problem with me because I need alot of attention and affection or i feel like there is a problem or he just don't love me. I have talked to him about several things but all he always tells me is he loves me and ain't another woman that can take my place and he is the happiest he's ever been. He was locked up in prison for about 8 yrs, could this be part of the problem? We both have been married to other people and have kids by them. He is very good with my kids also.

Answers: I don't intend to me mean, but it sounds like the issue is yours and not his. Okay - so he isn't as affectionate, but he sounds affectionate enough.

He isn't the same guy he was years ago. Let's face it, the testosterone levels of a 20-yr. old would kill him today. His body just couldn't take it.

Look - talk to him about it - let him know your needs. It sounds like he will do what he can to accommodate. However, if he really loves you and takes good care of your kid, you have it better than 90% of the rest of us. Be happy in that.

Good luck.
