Good luck! My husband is not super romantic, but we are best friends. I used to hate it but let him know how it made me feel. he doesn’t get it but understands it’s important to me. He now makes an effort, I know it’s just for me, but it’s so wonderful that he will try just to make me happy.

Love is not always big romantic gestures, and it often feels like an easy friendship. Romance is one thing but a deep lasting connection is another thing completely. Emotional intimacy is a very valid want, however, unfortunately many men have not been socialised in this to feel comfortable in doing so. Be careful because if you leave a good thing the grass is not always greener. It may take a long time to find a man who is actually willing to be vulnerable, and he may not have the other qualities this man does. Talk to him, express your feelings and see if he is willing to learn to open up to you
