Am I wrong from wanting some attention from my SO?

Question

Basically, I feel like he doesn’t focus on me at all. 
I feel like he has me and is so comfortable, that he doesn’t need to do anything or show me any love or affection because he has me. 
I’ve tried to talk to him about this and he has said that I am right and he will give me all the attention I want. 
He did, but now has gone right back to focusing on everything but me. He is away visiting family at the moment and if I wasn’t the one to contact him first, I believe he wouldn’t even try to contact me. 
I don’t want to leave him, I want to work on us. However, am I wrong for feeling like this?

Answer

Of course there is nothing wrong with wanting some attention! You have emotional needs that are not being met, try explaining that to him, I hope things get better :)

Answer

My husband and I spoke with a counselor about similar issue in my relationship and she told me that, yes he does have to try, but also, if you feel like you need more attention, go get it. You don’t always have to wait for him to dote on you. Go get the attention you want. Basically make sure you’re putting as much effort in as you expect him to put in and don’t necessarily expect that same in return.  
I honestly love our counselor and was slightly off put by this suggestion at first. But I did it and found that as I brought more focus into our relationship, the normality of the affection I so desired and gave became something he started to do naturally without me having to ask.  I went for what I wanted and now it’s created a habit for both of us.
She knew what she was talking about!
