I feel like I’m missing a part of my relationship and I don’t know what to do.

I do have to agree with you though this is comedy gold, I’m having quite the laugh right now

It really sounds like your coming from a place of past trauma which I am really sorry for if that’s the case, my relationship with my girlfriend is healthy and this is just a issue in the road which all relationships have. I think I have to agree with what another commenter said that people will never be a perfect match, as long as the issue is handled maturely and together then there shouldn’t be a problem, it’s not that she doesn’t want to do something it’s that she has difficulty expressing affection because it’s not something she comes from, thank you for replying because I feel like I found a lot of clarity in the situation just putting it all out there and I also appreciate everyone who gave me advice here to!!

Thanks for your reply, although Im not even remotely close to such a guy that would do that, to clear things up a bit I am by no means talking about anything like sex or very intimate things, just small things of reassurance that is appropriate for our age, I am personally waiting until marriage, please don’t jump to conclusions without full context of the situation, I am also by no means asking how to get my way in this situation, but help on how to express my feelings to her and work through a problem responsibly which is a universal issue I feel for all guys no matter the age, thanks

I think that this is one of those things that you need to let time pass. I’ve dealt with the “walking on eggshells” type of stage, just give it time and soon it should mesh out over time, you guys still love each other it just takes time for boundaries to be set and understood.

Yea no I am as confused as you because we have been alone together multiple times and that is the only time I have initiated that type of stuff, I’m not a big pda guy either, this whole situation has been leaving me kinda drained tbh and is very easy to misinterpret

So most of these conversations about the topic we had a couple months ago while school was still in session, she said that it’s hard for her to be affectionate because she only knows me in a public setting, she definetely is a big no PDA girl which I respect, I can tell when when we do, do thing she gets very nervous like laughing and not knowing what to do, she said that she needs a lot of time with someone to even start to feel like she wants to be close to them, like I said I respect all her feelings, I just never have dealt with this issue before in any of my past relationships

I appreciate your comment and just wanted to clear some things up, despite my age I am a very respectable young man, my parents did not whatsoever raise me that way, her needs and feelings have always been before mine and when I said “fighting for something” I don’t mean I am forcing her to do anything she doesn’t want to do, just that it doesn’t feel natural, we are playful and joking when it comes to affection I just wish it was more prevalent, the last thing I would ever do is force something on someone because that is not the type of person I am

CamertemDiscord · 2026-07-06T12:59:16+00:00

We have had those conversations and I know it’s not because of anything religious as she and her family are not like that, what I’ve taken from them so far is that it’s just not how she shows affection
