My boyfriend of two months has been cuddling a pillow at night instead of me. He says it started because he had an ex that liked to be cuddled, and when they broke up he started cuddling a pillow. I have expressed with great enthusiasm multiple times that I LOVE to be cuddled, yet he's only cuddled with me a handful of times and for only about 15 minutes.

We've been seeing each other for just over two months and I'm sleeping 4-5 nights a week at his house. I thought that given more time to warm up to me it would get better, but it hasn't and now I'm just getting resentful.

I think that he is still subconsciously in love with his ex. I haven't expressed this to him because I don't want to cause problems, especially without any sort of validation, but it's really starting to hurt my feelings. However, I have told him that I don't like that he cuddles the pillow instead of me, he just scoffs.

He doesn't sleep on one side or the other, he flips from one side to the other throughout the night, when he's facing me there's a pillow between us.

Is this normal? If so, how do I deal with feeling like I'm second to his pillow? If not, how do I bring it up to him to get him to stop?
