Feeling more affectionate

Ethereal · Jan 31st, 2012, 04:59 AM

I'm not usually a lovey dovey girl, I like my space, I don't like to feel "needy" or anything like that, but these last few days all I have wanted is love from my OH, kisses, cuddles, I just need to be close to him. He's at university three days a week and when he's not home with me I feel like I want to cry. I'm constantly texting him and calling him on his breaks, I've even started sticking little love notes around the house for him to come home to.
What the hell is wrong with me?! It's not me at all, OH doesn't know what's going on, he likes it though, I'm not sure if I do. I feel like I'm losing my independence. I hope I don't stay like this forever!
Is anyone else having strange personality changes?

Im the same, i've been with my OH 7years so you sort of lose a bit of the affection, but lately im following him around like a lost puppy. I miss him when he's at work too.

I'm the same, DH has said I'm more tactile than usual. HE says I just like to be touched at the moment!

I'm definitely like that. We always used to have a kiss and a cuddle when we first got home after work and at night before sleeping. I'd always tell him i needed space when i was actually oing to sleep though. Now i seem to need contact at all times while in bed, on the couch...and i get angry at him for leaving me alone in the living room when he's cooking his dinner! I think for me it has something to do with the fact that we've not told many people yet, so i feel pretty lonely most of the time...can't call a friend...you know what i mean. We have a private scan on saturday, so if everything looks alright then, we'll tell his parents, then my parents in about a month (i want to tell them in person and they live in another country, so i have to wait until they come to visit my sister and niece.) ...i'm sure i'll be back to my old distant self after that!

I am the exact opposite right now, I am moody and temperamental! OH seems to understand but I feel really guilty after my surges.

My OH is a very needy man and needs constant affection and right now I can't deliver that to him...this is going to be a LONG 9 months.
