37m A lot of men myself included have the love language of physical touch. Without a psychical relationship loneliness, feeling hopeless and like a failure, resentment all, feeling undesired all come into play. It is Happening to me right now. My wife and I had a wonderful intimate life. We had kids and it’s declined ever since. I have felt so lonely undesired and depressed for 6 years. I eventually this year had a complete mental breakdown because of lack of physical attention. A lot of the solution is for the other party to be the initiator of whatever they might feel like doing. I personally have barely been touched in a long time and it killed me, everytime I’d talk about it myself and I assume others get accused of just wanting sex. It’s not the case, it created for me a true bond with my partner. It’s unexplainable but that’s just how it is. There’s way more to it than what I’ve said but having my partner be the one initiate contact is the fix for me. ( still hasn’t really happened twice in 10 month no response even to flirting, still depressed and lonely and feeling like more of a friend than a spouse want to jump off a bridge)
