Dear Ann, This is a response to the woman who said her husband was less than affectionate after many years of marriage. You encouraged her to support his affections. I want to take your advice a step further and say, she needs to be explicit in what she needs. My husband, (an x-priest) was willing but not knowledgeable about what was affectionate. We were both retired and home, working as writers and we were like ships that passed one another without contact throughout the day. I asked for a hug, a kiss, or some form of contact affection each time we went by one another. Whenever we left or hung up the phone, I told him I loved him and asked for the same response. Needless to say, I am a satisfied wife because I asked for what I needed and was specific. Our relationship only blossomed.
Thanks for reading this.
