Topic: how important is affection in a relationship? | |
---|---|
I like to show my affection to a girlfriend but she tells me that she feels uncomfortable showing me her affection towards me and thats just how she is... I think she's just not used to this, is there a chance for her to change with time?

could just be her way. some people aren't touchy feely and some are. is that what you mean, physical affection? or like buying gifts or something?

We've only known each other for 2 weeks but I show my affection by cuddling, hugging, going for the kisses, holding her hand. She doesn't seem to reciplicate those actions towards me. |

Affection is only important to those who have been acclimated toward such emotions.
I grew up in a rather affectionless (not to mention dysfunctional) household, and -as a result- I tend not to show very much in the way of such. So showing or receiving affection in any shape essentially means nothing to me. |

She seems to be alright other than the affection... I'm thinking of taking a chance and she might open up more if the relationship lasts long enough, my affection could rub off on her. |

Maybe she just isn't comfortable caring on in public with a married man. Your wife catches her letting you love up on her she is likely to get hurt and she knows it.

It could, but it could also have to do with any emotional abuse or trauma that may have happened in her childhood. Heck- just seeing the parents bicker and argue about stuff would be enough to make someone hardened like that. You're just gonna have to ask her and try to get to the bottom of things. You'll probably even need to take her in some for counseling. |

We've only known each other for 2 weeks, I don't think I should be probing her mind just yet and counseling might be way down the line from now if I do try that |
