SOLUTION: Don't ask, initiate. BE the change. STOP talking so much and just be the husband you want to be.

> Don't ask her to hug you, just hug her when you want a hug.

Notice two things about the above? 1. You probably just did these things naturally WITHOUT asking when you were first together and 2. notice none of them involve asking her anything.
