Hi secrettattoo,
Actually, I think with some guys, they’d be relieved! My college boyfriend never liked PDA and my DH won’t hold hands in public. I’m more like you, actually, but when I am affectionate, it is sincere and can be overpowering. I think when you really love someone it shows through in your energy, being and aura. When people are all “needy” it means they are not “feeling it” from you.
Don’t change your nature, but maybe have a ritual going forward: A hug when you leave and a kiss when you return. Holding their hand tight during meal times for a moment and then letting go. Saying “I love you” when you wake up and when you fall asleep.
Best,
Inky
