Hi I am Gay and have been in a relationship for over ten years. I Feel starved of love as my partner is 20 years older than me and a person who cannot really share their feelings Easilty. I dont just want copanionship, I want to be hugged and loved in a physical way. I have told him about this and he says he can't change.

I'll just throw this one in.... how would your partner feel if you agreed you could find another partner, all above board, that you could develop this side of a relationship with - i.e. someone else. This may serve to give you the confidence to either leave or maintain the relationship you already have but fulfill your other emotions. You clearly have to face the facts and he has at least been honest with you in saying he can't be emotional or physical. You cannot waste your life - you have so much to give someone and you deserve to receive affection too.

2old4this agony auntHe's probably from the old school where being gay was waaaaay in the closet. I agree, he probably cant really change at this point. It basically comes down to you. What are you willing to live with?
