My girlfriend rarely shows me affection. Help!

Question - (25 August 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 25 August 2009)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So i've been with my girlfriend for almost 2 years now and she finds it hard to show me affection. We have pet names for each other (Muffin/Puffin) And I call her Muffin all the time and she rarely calls me Puffin. Point being is that she finds it hard to show affection (in general) I am the person she has ever been closest to in her life but she can't randomly show me affection. She's in love with me and says it and I say it as well but it's just hard when I pour out so much affection and get hardly anything in return. What do you think is the problem? (She says its awkward for her)

xanthic agony auntNot everyone is the same. Some are even uncomfortable with showing affection or being on the receiving end of it, regardless of how deep their feelings for someone might be. The best thing you could do is back off a bit. The worst case scenario would be that she feels smothered, and doesn't want to encourage you.

some people arent those gay types.mr muffin as you said you shower your love on her,stop doiing that for some days.see her reaction as i think she has got accustomed to your giving her love and she just accepting it without any returns.so let her understand this and if she loves you then she would tell you that you are a changed person.then you get your answer that she loves you.but if she doesnt say anything,there could be three reasons-1.you couldnt cut on the affectionate part.2.she doesnt understand the great language-love.3.she doesnt love you,so let her go her way!

Does she have a horrible past? Look into PTSD.
