We've been dating a year and a half. He never compliments me anymore, barely shows affection, but definitely is always down for sex. He never even bothers to ask about my day or anything. I told him that this bothers me and he said, "well, don't take it personally because I don't ask how anyone's day is. And I don't care if people ask me how mine is." In general, he's emotionally flat, not romantic or very thoughtful, he has similar qualities of someone with schizoid personality disorder (can't make an official diagnosis). But I do like him and I am comfortable around him, I think he is a pretty good person.

My bf has never been super affectionate, but he used to compliment me and show me more attention, then it's like something changed. Sometimes I will text him a kissy face, or I will hug him in real life, and he will not return the gesture. It hurts me, but he says in a harsh tone "I don't feel like being affectionate because I'm in a bad mood. If you can't understand that then you're the one with the problem." He doesn't really even say it in a nice way. I just feel like I'm being rejected. I am not an overly affectionate person either so when I do show affection and get shot down it hurts me a lot. Though we've been dating awhile, he has never said he loved me. One time when I was drunk I told him I loved him and at first he spent time telling me I didn't mean it. Then I told him I seriously meant it later when I was sober... but he never said he loves me too. I do know he cares about me though. My friend said that being unemotionally unavailable was a form of abuse and it made me think that something was wrong here.
