Quote: I am a passionate, touchy-feely kind of person, and this kind of R is killing me. I want to feel loved, wanted, someone to pet on me. He doesn't touch me in any way, except for an occasional hug that comes with that kiss.
I know this may sound obvious, but have you told him that physical contact is important to you? Important for you to feel loved?
I know that even if you did tell him that he may not do anything to improve that, because you did say he was depressed, but at least it's worth a shot.
