This is my first long term, serious relationship as an adult. I love my girlfriend very much, and I am a very affectionate person. I’m thoughtful, I make time for us, I do all of the little things (random flowers, coffee, buy her candy, etc). Her and her friends describe me as “the perfect boyfriend.”
We have been together a little less than a year.
My girlfriend is, by her own admission, not the most affectionate person, and NOT a clingy person. She enjoys her solitude at times. She has periods where she is very affectionate— Cuddling, PDA, vocally communicates her affection. Followed by periods where she doesn’t want to be physically intimate— low sex drive, crabby, wants to have her own side of the couch.
My girlfriend says she loves me, she texts me good morning, asks how my day went. However, if you were to ask me who is more emotionally invested, I would have to confess that I think I am.
I could be wrong, and there is a chance she just has a better poker face than me because she’s 3 years older and has been in two relationships that lasted several years.
If I had to bet my life on it, I’d bet that she loves me, but it’s hard to believe when she isn’t as affectionate.
