my boyfriend doesn't like affection, almost at all. we've had arguments over it and he and his ex did too. He's much better about it now but whenever it's brought up he always says that he does it just because he knows i want it, i like the fact that he wants to make me happy but i also want him to WANT to show me affection. he's also very double standardish about it IE he complains if i don't kiss him or hold him at night but if i ask for a kiss sometimes he shows he doesnt want to though he does (kiss me that is) and he wont hold me unless its to get me to roll over and hold him. Also he'll touch me in public because he knows i like affection but doesnt like it when i touch him in public- he's not a fan of PDAs
Is it too much to ask that he want to touch me?
Is there anything I can do?
BTW I tried just not showing him affection and we went an entire 24hours without touching a single time, he didn't even notice.

Do you wanna spend the rest of your life with a man that's less affectionate?Do you want this to continue in your future?
Can you live without affection from a man?
Dont to you wanna be touched and comforted whenever you want?
Ask yourself the above questions and decide for yourself the fate of this relationship.If you are not happy in this relationship,its time to get off.Its silly to wait thinking that things will get better.Dont punish yourself.

guys are just like that... they dont like to show their soft inner spot especially in public. as long as he is not doing such thing to you even though u guys are alone, its ok... thats a guy...its just normal...
u could either talk with him and live with it(maybe he has a valid reason) or leave him.. but i suggest talking with him about the matter is better...

When he complains, tell him to suck it up.
