Let's try this again

Any suggestion on how to deal with this until we get to MC? I have told him like I posted i needed him to be more affectionate. So far I havent seen a change

Sure. If it was me:

1. Pick a good time to talk about this (NOT during a bowl game, not while he is under the hood of the car, not when he is on his way out the door).

2. Don't talk about the past (could have should have would have); Talk future: "I would like you to be more affectionate" And give examples of what you would like (I would like you to kiss me good night, I would like you to sit next to me on the couch, I would like you to initiate ML)

3. REWARD HIS GOOD BEHAVIORS! Acknowledge his affection: "hey H, I liked it when you kissed me and bought me those flowers, it made me feel loved/wanted/desired/etc.", then follow it up with a(n) unsolicited ______ (feel free to fill in the blank with anything "adult" you want).

4. Follow up: if there are good behaviors/changes, mention that with praise in MC the next time you are there.
