Hi Sienna,
I'm sorry you're going through that--it really hurts, I know. To the best of your ability try to get what you need from other people around you right now, I know it's not the same but it does help. For the moment try to disengage from expecting it from him because for whatever reason he's not giving it to you. Maybe he will in the future and maybe you can still work things out. But in the meantime it's important to try to take care of yourself the very best you can--doing small things that make you feel good, surrounding yourself with friends. I know that sounds so cliche', but it's true. With a little distance and filling yourself with your own strength the situation will become clearer. Of course as soon as you appear less needy he will probably become more affectionate, not that that's the way you want to have to get it. But it's for your sake, not his. I wish you the very best and I understand how incredibly painful it can be.((((sienna))))
