I too love affection, LOTS of affection. My wife is very unaffectionate. I have not kissed my wife on the lips in a year. She does not like to kiss me. It is very weird. But how to build a relationship with someone that is not affectionate. Unfortunately, the solution seems to be to tell the LD what needs to change, and then let them deal with it for some time, and if nothing changes, to leave them. The worst part is that we can change ourselves, but our spouse, we have no control over, and they hold the solution if the really try.
