Piecing is almost harder than before...

[XYZ]

I have no problem "handling" my own problem for a while. My issue is more the general affection.

I get plenty of ILY, but usually only a side hug with a cheek kiss in the morning, no holding hands, no good night kiss. Rarely a hug.

I would LOVE to give her a hug with nothing more. When I do get a kiss, it's like I won the lottery.

I think it's just a matter of time. I really do think the verbal affection is getting stronger and more genuine. I can make it.
