I am at a loss. My love language is physical touch and I've needed more and communicated with my partner, who I'm not in a relationship with no title, about it for the last 6 months and not much has changed. Some back story we met in May 2023 and I got pregnant unexpectedly in August 2023, so I know it put a wrench in things. Obviously, I knew it would take time for him to accept I was pregnant. He wasn't happy at all about it during the whole pregnancy. He wouldn't touch me and never touched my belly at all. This resulted in me having confidence issues, body issues, and now feeling weird when he touches me at all sometimes flinching. I am getting therapy for myself to work on my personal issues. Now that the baby is a few months old he loves him and is a good dad. I'm happy about that. I feel it's best to be good coparents but he insists it will work and get better. I don't feel it will work since every week I tell him I'm not getting enough affection. It always turns into an argument. I have tried to be indirect and give hints and also be direct and give a list of what I like. I am mentally exhausted having to move his hand on my face to kiss me or move his hand on my hip as doing this nothing feels genuine to me. I have never had to basically be a puppeteer with affection or talk to someone about how to be affectionate to me. Any advice? I will also be talking to my therapist
