Need affection

Hi I been married just under 2 years n together 4  years , I have a baby and another on the way, my husband is everything to me we are very close b love eachother n he's frat husband n father he tell me I'm beautiful and all that n makes me feel secure , but he's not affectionate if I wt upset about it then he will show affection to make me smile again as he dont like to see me sad but then goes back to being he's normal self he said he shows affection to me other way by support n caring n helping me which ia true but I crave affection where it's physical I like him to snog me, maybe get on top of me n show how much he want me n make love I guess i see affection in a more sexual way , since we got married he's not like that we have sex once a week ( I would like atleast 1 a night) n if wasn't for me making the effort to spice things up he would just do same thing everytine nothing new also I have to make myself come he don't enjoy even trying I can see it boring or a effort to him , I love him so much is he was more sexual n affectionate he be perfect I feel like I'm always frustrated :-( n j have told him how I feel he promise to change n says he loves me n im sexy but things stay the same even a snog right now would make me happy

I totally agree with RockRose and SpecialMom.  

All things regarded, it sounds like You have a great Husband -   Some Husbands are better than others, but there's at  least one thing wrong with all of them!! - and We're not perfect either!!

For those snuggle moments You desire, You can take the intiative to cuddle - sometimes cuddling and snuggling leads to other things.  And sometimes JUST the cuddling and snuggling are very nice indeed.

I'm not disconsidering Your needs and desires here, but only suggesting "it is what it is" and You probably can't "change" it.   You love Him, He loves You, it sounds like a great Marriage, so, work with what You've got and find Your "private" moments if You feel a need for "physical" sexual release.

GoodLuck

Don't feel guilty and You are not being selfish!!  You and Hubby simply have different libido's and that's okay!!  I'm certain it happens often as People are different.  It's not about who's right and who's wrong, as You are Both right, each of You, to be who You are.  Two different People have come together to make a Family and share a Life that is going to have it's ups and downs (as We ALL do).  You and Hubby just need to find a way to make Your differences work together.  That's all - it can be done and You Will Live Happily Ever After!!
Good Luck To You.

I just want to add to what rockrose is saying--  you are at a tough point in life.  One little one and another on the way.  Raising a young family puts a lot of pressure on a man (and women too, don't get me wrong)---  and frankly, working as hard as one has to in order to raise and provide for kids can be tiring.  He's awesome in every other way and he may be using his energy that way.  

What happens when you take his hand, sit really close to him, etc.  You can instigate affection and get some when you need it, right?  

And rockrose has an excellent suggestion for you regarding other needs.  good luck

Hooyo,  i think you're making it too hard for him.  Wanting sex at least one time a night is too much for any man to sustain and be healthy.  They can do it when the relationship is new,  but no man can have sex 1+ times each night and have the energy to get through the day after years of that.  

I think your demands have become daunting and intimidating to him.

I wonder if you could have sex the way he does,  and not seem so disappointed,  and maybe buy a vibrator?  

All couples have sex drives that don't match up perfectly - but I sense if you would accept from him what he gives easily,  things would be better.

Best wishes.
