Boyfriend not affectionate anymore

My bf isn’t affectionate and sweet with me anymore. I confront him about it and he said it’s just a natural part of relationship. He said when people dated for so long they gets comfortable and become less affectionate. The problem is, I’m a very romantic girl. In the beginning of the relationship he got me into thinking that he’s the same. I sometime call him a false avertisement lol and we just laugh. Recently we rarely holding hands in the car anymore. I don’t know what to do with these situations because I miss it so much. I miss the sweet caring him so much. I’m always afraid he’s not interest in me anymore. What’s crazier is I’m afraid I might stop loving him one day. I always feel I deserve more. I have a few guys that like me and always flatters me and kind to me. But the one that I truly love don’t even bother to give me a goodmorning kiss. Right now I’m holding back my feeling because I don’t feel like he loves me enough.
What bothers me the most is that we rarely say I love you to each other. For me, I have no problem saying that. I do love him and he did said he loves me too. BUT he only says those words only when he sees I’m upset or when I say that to him. He’s never the one who says it first (unless he make me mad).

I used to say my first hubby lied to me about how he was BEFORE we got married so I understand what you mean....

My second hubby .... Been together for nine years and still hold hands still say I love you often and miss you etc.

If you want more you will have to talk to him again or move on, he is wrong it is not a natural progression, people relax and show you the real them after a while.

It could just be who is in, in defense of him. I'm not saying you're wrong for what you want, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that he doesn't love you.

Oh and btw.

You threw up a huge huge HUGE red flag to me when you mentioned several other guys that like you. In My opinion that is a big danger sign of Cheating Temptation.

You may be offended but I have been down that road, and I cheated on an ex of mine And I was the LAST person you would have thought. No one is too good not to be tempted and by allowing yourself to imagine others affections while in such a state (then again imagining others affection anytime is wrong I believe) will bring temptation and with temptation comes heartache for him AND for you.

work on bringing back the romance in your relationship and show him it doesn't have to be that way. I'm sure he will get excited again too. and don't listen to the other guys who say they like you, in fact I'd stay away from them O_O

The spark of the relationship can wane.... all the little affectionate gestures are lost on the day to day grind of life.
How long have you been together?
Have you actually spoken to him about what you want and where you see the relationship heading?

Love do fade... work things out, ask him more often about your relationship, ask him what is going on. assess yourselves, maybe one of you has fallen out of love but just afraid to show-off... Just be yourself all the time, don't change and let him realize that his getting far from you.

I know this might sound counterintuitive, but give him a little space. Don't smother him. Go out and do some things on your own, spend some time with some friends, and take care of yourself. He'll come around...it's probably just a phase that he's going through that has nothing to do with you.

Ignore this for a little while. Let him be. In the meantime take care of yourself: enjoy a bubble bath, increase your passion about a certain hobby, work out, go get sexy clothes to wear. Re-invent yourself and have fun with yourself to -maybe- show him what he's missing...
He might just wake up from this snoozing status.

we work together, we spend 18-20 hrs a day together. At first i was afraid he might have got sick of me so i ask him if i should transfer to a different work place and us spend less time together. THe problem is he don't really have a life. He don't really have any family. He just moved here a year ago and met me. So far i'm the only friend/family/girlfriend he has. So he's kinda clingy. when not spending his time with me, he don't have anyone to hangout with. So yeah, he has no problem of us spending that much time together because if he's not with me, he don't know what else to do to kill the time.

i tried to let this go and focus more on myself but i can't because he's always around, and his uncaring-not-interested-in-me-as-much-anymore attitude is also always around. and it hurts.

I actually already asked my boss to transfer me without letting him know. i just told him they made me and i have no choice. I'm affraid i might hurt his feeling so i lied to him. But i want to be able to actually miss him, and him missing me. And i want to get my mind off this relationship and focus on other things in my life a little more.

Tivity, Im sure there won't be any cheating because there're many times me and my bf argues and even thought about breaking up. But not once have i thought about hooking up with any other guys beside my bf. I'd been single a long while before i met my bf and i've always thought my single life was the most amazing time in my life lol no worries, no emotionl roller coaster, never care what others thought of me.

for some reason my other post didn't show up but anyway

my bf just move here and i'm all he has so he tends to be a bit clingy. we spend almost 24hrs/day together so i think part of problem is because we're kinda bore of each other.
i've tried to tell him we need some space but he showed some signs of disagreement so i stopped bringing that subject up in fear of hurting his feeling.
Although i did ask my boss to transfer me to a different work place without letting him know. i just told him that they made me and i have no choice. the boss is my bestfriend and she has no problem. She too thinks we spend way too much time together. I don't want him to think i don't love him anymore. I just want some time to focus more on myself (rather than keep obessing over our relationship). It hurts to spend a whole day with someone you love when he doesn't really pay attention to you

that's all that i can do for now. i don't know what else i could do...

oh yeah, we've been together for 6 months now
