Jealous of You

A personal story in the experience: I Am Too Jealous
I  am jealous of all you girls out there who have an affectionate boyfriend/husband.

When I first started going with my now-husband, he didn't want to take his hands off me... and I loved it!  Now, after a few years, he doesn't seem to want to touch me.  I have to force him to hold my hand  or hug me.  The other night, he got so angry because I asked him to lay down with me.  I haven't asked anyone about this, but I don't think this would be an issue in most relationships.  If a wife asked her husband to come lie down with her, wouldn't a guy normally love to go snuggle?

Anyway, I was on the Internet that night and saw a picture of a man holding a woman close in bed... and it just killed me.  Why can't that be us?  I suppose it's because it takes 2, and that makes sense.

Today I spoke to my husband about how I felt, how I wished he'd hold me.  He really didn't says much about it.  I remember a story he told me about laying with and holding a prettier girl he dated, and that memory made me even more jealous. 

I just wish he'd show me more affection.  I let him know what I wanted, so that's all I can do.  And just wait and hope. 

I am also jealous when I see all the pictures online of happy couples.   I see so many guys that look ecstatic to be with their girls. I wish my husband would look that way when he is with me.

I definately know how you feel. My husband and I use to be extremely playful. Now, I try to wrestle or joke with him or get a little frisky and he just brushes it off. Most of the tme he doesn't even hear me, I'm just tuned out. He does have depression issues but has been in counseling and on meds for the past two years; and yet still - nothing. Maybe your husband has depression issues, do some research on depression and then watch him for a while and see if you notice any signs.

I've been going through this for nearly 7 years and I'm hanging on the end of the rope.

I really hope things get better for you, I know how hard it is to lose that connection. It's sad and lonely and just plain sucks.
