Re: Communication issues
It’s understandable that you may want to wait it out a bit before bringing it up again, but don’t let too much time pass where things become life-long habits. Feel it out and make the move! 
My thing is, if he loves you, he can work on showing you more affection. Doesn’t take much, and there will be baby steps to take, but your route to better communication has to start somewhere. Communicate communicate communicate! Perhaps the first few days may feel like the communication is forced, but so what? If your husband needs a reminder set up on his phone to check in with his wife and see how she’s doing, then so be it. Once it becomes habit, it will no longer feel forced.
Don’t forget hun, God helps those who help themselves. You don’t have to stay hurting and hiding your feelings. Hubby and you should be interested in one another more than anything/anyone else. If this is a love marriage, where’s the love? Love actually shows itself through small gestures.
Life is just starting out for you guys, so start it off right. You already see where some of the issues will be for you. Don’t be afraid to communicate it. Because your husband doesn’t naturally pick up on these things, he may never see it from your point of view and it’s on you to make him see it.
