Affection/sex issues?

I have a high sex drive and I love to be covered in affection. And I always make sure I give out more than I get as a sign of appreciation. But he never wants to touch me hardly anymore. He was never that affectionate, but at least once a day he’d kiss me just cause or hug me from behind while I’m working or let me lay on his chest while we watch tv. And we’d always have sex at least twice a week if not more.

But since Christmas, he never just kisses, hugs, cuddles with, says sweet things, anything. I try to and if it’s not a quick peck or hug or if it’s a quick peck and he’s doing something, he tells me to back up. You can throw the mention of sex completely out the window. I’ve only brought it up a couple times and I tried to be delicate because I remember how much it hurt my past partner when I wasn’t and he blow up and said how much pressure it was putting on him constantly making it a problem. But that was when our relationship was not in a good place. We’ve worked through a lot of issues and doing a lot better but it’s still sex only every almost two weeks and it was only good for me and lasted longer than five minutes once.

I don’t want to be pushy or make him feel like I’m pressuring for sex. As women, we know how awful people can make you feel about that. But damn it, I’m getting pretty darn sad and lonely. He wouldn’t even let my toes and shins touch his calf and torso last night. He woke me up twice to tell me to move and I wasn’t even trying to be romantic. I was just sleeping. He and everyone he knows all say he’s never been a touchy-feely person even with family, so I get it’s not personal.

But what the hell am I to do? I’m not asking for me-focused sex everyday and constant affection. Hell, I’d even take going back to just a small hug or kiss here or there just once a day. But God, I feel so alone and unwanted and uncared about. Is it a him thing? Is a me thing? Is it an us thing? Any thoughts at all?
