Husband unusually affectionate?

[PhotoMama0137]

I'm not at all complaining- but..My husband the last few days has been especially affectionate- not so much having sex or wanting sex- just little things, like holding my hand when we're sitting next to each other- putting his arm around me- stuff like that..Before anyone says it- I know he's not cheating- he has no time to cheat- he goes straight to work and back home again every day- not a minute goes by where I don't know where he's at.It's just unusual that this is happening, because he's never been one to be real "touchy feely" with his emotions. Like I said, he doesn't seem to want extra sex or anything and he doesn't want a baby- he and I can't have any more- and there's no birthday or anything coming up.. the only thing that has changed is I got my hair highlighted, but I don't think that would spark such a change.Any ideas on what's going on?Please read. I just said there's no way he's cheating on me.With his job, he is unable to leave the work site at all- he has to take his lunch there. And I know he wouldn't cheat on me at work.

cheating on you...affectionate to try to clear his own conscience!!

[Lifeisbeautiful]

He's just showing love

[maleconfused8402]

just enjoy it if it works for you...quit questioning something good.Why do people always want to look and see whats under the carpet?All you're gonna find is the dust that got swept under there cuz people are laze.Just leave it alone.

gosh, wish my husband would be that way. I wouldn't worry. sometimes men just want to love a woman.

Behavior and personality changes can sometimes be caused by certain medical conditions - if he's older keep that in mind.Maybe he's just learned to appreciate the good things that he has - a "spiritual awakening" of sorts.

Every marriage goes through changes as yours seems to be right now. His display of affection is his effort to be a more loving better husband. If you are so sure he is not cheating,why do you question it? Enjoy and return the affection to him.

ASK HIM! It is not rocket science! You are fishing for something that is most likely not there....

[ColonelIngus]

yeah, not cheating on you....don't be so sure. My wife tells her friends the same thing, that I don't have time to cheat. Hmmm, but I do. I take lunch and meet my lover for a quickie at her place close to where I work. Wife has no clue.

Well first thing you can assure he is not cheating why you are not with him while he is at work so don't say you are 100% sure he is not cheating becuase at work he could have a girlfriend what you do have is that you trust him and you know he will not cheat. But anyway maybe he just wants a change he see that you are valuable person adn he loves you with all your heart and that with your new look you look more beautiful then ever hey like it and don;t stress about it anymore and be happy with him. Okay

[FredMac]

Just because you think he isn't cheating doesn't mean he isn't. Unless you follow him around, men have been known to spend thier lunch hour in a hotel with a pretty intern.Or he might have just found out he has a terminal illness and will be dead soon.

Hunny, you should be overjoyed, most women have to make their man be this way, its a way for a man to show he cares, Good Lord woman let him..But you to should show that you care, I who am usually very centered I would say actually grabed my husbands butt in Wal-MArt, and you know what it was fun we had a great weekend together, and we didn't even have sex. just good old fashion fun....

Maybe something happened to him to make him appreciate you a little more. He could have read an article or heard something on the radio. Why don't you ask him?

[CarlaL]

Maybe he's been feeling like you two are becoming farther and farther away, and he feels like he needs to get the love back :]

[tinitene83_16]

Maybe one day he just came to a realization of how special you are to him and he just wants to touch you. Just take it as a blessing. He loves you!!!!!!!!!

[cms19771424]

Okay, I wasn't going t say anything about him cheating...but it bothers me too much that you say you know 100%. You don't and he could be...sorry.Cheating aside (if your gut is telling you he's not, he's probably not), it could be alot of things. Maybe he had a dream that you died and it scared him, maybe he heard about a friends horrible marriage and is thankful, maybe he is just maturing and appreciating you more...it could be ANYTHING. I don't understand why you don't just ask him. Surely if you're married you feel like you can ask him this simple question..ENJOY IT! It's wonderful isn't it? My bf is amazing in the way he cuddles and shows physical affection. I feel like I got pretty lucky with him because I realize and have been with guys that cringe t a public kiss of hand holding...just enjoy it and savor it.

Has HE had a recent 'mile-marker' birthday? It may be that he feels he's getting older and is just trying to keep the fire going. A lot of people (men AND women) get to a certain age...and they could all be different ages...where they take an evaluation of their lives and wonder if they're actually 'being all they can be'.

[LarryM6388]

Just maybe he had a few moment to remember why he loves you and is trying to show you for maybe with the hectic work schedule he know he hasnt told you or showed you . I would take it and run with it.

[Christ9044]

You're right. It's not about cheating.He loves you and is opening up to you more. People change over time. And it looks like he is changing in a way that causes him to show more affection. Good for you. Good for both of you.

[DonnaI9360]

He might have been recently tempted, but knows that what he's got is what he wants and is just moving closer to you as a result.

[TaralynnD]

This is just a guess and also a possibility: He might have had a dream that you were gone or that you died. I had a dream that a boyfriend of mine had died and it scared me and instantly made me closer to him.

[beaners12291538]

Maybe something happened to make him realize how much he appreciates you...like someone at work just lost their spouse or something like that.

[shev2071]

maybe he overheard someone at work. Saying their spouse cheated because they were not affectionate towards them. He probably feels he might lose you if he didn't so affection.
