Husband doesn't want to cuddle

I'm really struggling lately. My husband doesn't want to cuddle or show me any sort of affection. I've tried talking to him about it and he said "we've been married for two years, I don't need to hold you." 
any advice to make this better? I feel extremely lonely. 
Edit**** we are not being as intimate right now as we usually are, mostly due to a sore I have healing and he understands that.
