My SO & I are very affectionate with our children. But I’d have to say, for the past 7-8 yrs the affection between us as a couple, has waned a great deal. We show very little affection to each other normally. We barely kiss goodbye in the morning & that’s about all the touching we do at home like in front of the kids.
So I’m wondering how this lack of affection between us, reflects on them & their understanding of “love”, “relationships” etc for their future.

I grew up with my parents being very affectionate with each other. SO parents didn’t show much affection to each other so our views are different.
Does this affect kids?
Thanks!
