I totally agree, it's a very important part!

I have told him this a number of times, it feels like I've said it 1000 times - but it seems like maybe I reached him by using different language this weekend. I told him that I couldn't ML because I had to preserve my self-respect. For some reason, that really seemed to make an impression.

I also said that it felt like a booty call from the guy who can't be bothered to have a committed relationship with you, but calls late on Saturday and wants to come over...

Since then, he has tried to be more affectionate, I can tell. Perhaps being very direct is the way to go. I've had smarter dogs, though.
