I feel so unsure of what to do. My husband is affectionate, does things around the house, we get on really really well but he never ever touches me.
What do you mean he's affectionate but never touches you? To me being affectionate requires physical touch, so I'm confused by that.

Is this normal as you grow old together?
It is common, but not normal. It's an indication of a marriage failing. I was going to suggest you get 5LL but see you already did, good! Try filling your H's love tank. Hopefully he'll start wanting to fill yours.

Should I just keep going, will this ever change?
No, it absolutely will not change on its own. Too many people fall into this trap and their marriage slowly dies while each of them are doing nothing but waiting around to see if something changes. In order to create change you have to do something different! Change the game! Mix things up! That's what 5LL talks about. If you both have empty love tanks and sit around waiting for the other to start filling your tank then it's only a matter of time before the M collapses. But if one starts filling the other's love tank, then before long the other wakes up and wants to reciprocate.
Again I will say, DO NOT be afraid to try something different! Just remember, "more of the same" behavior is what killed your marriage. So bring it back to life through your actions
