The Most Preposterous Reasons Your Partner Isn’t Affectionate To You Anymore

By Aaron Abel

In a world with so many things that can push you towards depression, it can be very harmful for the mind to constantly worry about things that many times aren’t even genuine concerns. But our minds have a way of planting stories and possibilities in such a way that we become borderline paranoid of what’s going on. That’s why sometimes it’s a good idea to lighten the mood and laugh about our problems. In that sense, here are some of the most ridiculous reasons for which your partner might not be affectionate towards you anymore. So if you’re ready, here it goes:

How to Make Love a Decision

This story below is one of those stories that gets about on the interwebs. I received it in my email recently from a friend and tried to find the original writer. It is written by Michael D. Hargrove and titled "Don't Hope, Friend.... Decide!" for the book "A 5th Portion of Chicken Soup for the Soul".

I also found that in their book, How to Make Love Everyday... Guaranteed, Peter Crook and June Crook used the story to illustrate the benefits of public displays of affection in building and sustaining love and romance in a long term relationship, and even it works in building your relationship with your children. I hope it touches you as it did me.

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about — the kind that sneaks up on you unexpectedly. This one occurred a mere two feet away from me.

Straining to locate my friend among the passengers alighting through the jet way, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.

First he motioned to his youngest son (maybe six years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other’s face, I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly, averted his eyes and replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!”

Why Does He hold my hand and hug me in Public?

This is a search #1 question that I would have thought was very open and shut? If a guy displays affection to you in public, it simply means he is attracted to you and wants you and the people around you to know it too. Most times, he would have said something about his feelings to you. If he hasn't said anything, then you have to be careful, PDAs like holding hands and hugging can also be exchanged among platonic friends.

If it is the case that you are friends with a guy and he hugs you, he may just be the touchy feely type and there may be no romantic feelings involved. If you think you may be reading too much into the person's actions, you can simply ask them?

Public Display of Affection - Obama Kisses Michelle

Talking of couples doing sweet stuff, President Obama and Michelle were the target of a Kiss Cam at a basketball game sometime last month.

Old School Nigerian Style PDA - Bola and Remi Tinubu

You all know I love me some PDA, but coming from some quarters, it's so unexpected, but in a pleasant way though. Bola Tinubu may be marking his 60th birthday, but the guy still got groove. And I can see the wife, Remi Tinubu rocking that kiss, seems she actually is the protagonist? Ahem...
