    Is it bad to want affection from my boyfriend?
    My boyfriend and I, who have been dating for a year and three months, recently went on a break. We've been on this break for about 3 weeks now. We are planning to see each other sometime next week. And he tells me that a hug and kiss doesn't matter to him anymore. I've been trying to tell him that I want affection, specially after everything that's happened. And he says he's sorry, but that doesn't matter to him anymore. Is it bad for me to want affection from him after not seeing him in almost a month?

    Well you both went on a break so he doesn't have to kiss you or hug you like if you guys were dating. Now if you get back together yeah he should give you affection, but your not dating right now, so just give him sometime to think about things. Don't push him into anything that he doesn't want.

    You might be saying things to him, but it doesn't sound like he's really understanding you.

    I would say you'll have to try again to explain it to him to make sure that he actually understands what you mean and not just hear words coming out of your mouth.

    Well now seeing as it was his idea. I would guess he took the break in hopes it would rekindle something in the relationship that was missing for him or to simply give him time to think of what else to do and now that you are back together he may be realizing what he expected to happen didn't and Is distancing himself because of this. I would try talking to him and discussing what is in his best interest as well as looking at the situation and figuring out what you want and what is in your best interest, then go from there. I hope everything goes well for you and good luck.
