I've been dating this guy for 5 months now. I've grown to love and adore him. But he's emotionally distant and not affectionate because he said it always ends up horribly for him if he allows himself to fully open up have an affectionate love. So he doesn't want to bother with that kind of relationship. He does do random, cute things like covering me up when I fall asleep but he says it's just common courtesy. I never know how he feels and I'm always uncertain. It's making me so insecure and it weighs heavy on my chest. I wish he showed me love more often.. The most of all, I wish he would hold me and let me cry my eyes out. But. Like. Anything to show me he really loves me. Sometimes his words and "I love you too's" just feel completely empty and it hurts and I have to try my hardest not to cry because I'm super sensitive and he gets irritated that I cry at nothing and girls crying in general. So half of the time, I'm super happy with him and feel more happy than I have been in like 10 months now. But at the same time, randomly I'll get super depressed because I want him to be affectionate towards me. Is it stupid of me to feel like it's unfair that other girls got to have his affection but he always tells me how nice I am and even let's me wear his class ring that he says he's never let any other girl wear because it's very special to him but I don't get affection because of girls in the past? I don't know. I just feel like it's unfair and it's stupid but I'm jealous of his exes. I feel like he and even I could be even happier if he would let himself.

Does anyone have any advice? I just want to feel love so I can believe it.

If he's emotionally detached, is that even really possible?
