How do I get more affection from him?

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years. We used to have lots of intimacy, now we are intimate about once a week and half. Things have really slowed down. I know he is tired from his new job and stressed out about finances... but i can tell we are getting comfortable. We have talked about me needing more affection and intimacy- keeping the romance alive, but he says he dosnt know how to show affection, or dosnt think about it, and because he wasnt raised to show lots of affection. There is little affection shown, but Id like more. I dont know what to do. I dont want to just become this comfortable, pattern setting couple. Im trying to not be so clingy/not needing so much affection, but its hard. How do I get him to be more affectionate without pushing him. Or should I just accept that he isnt that way.

I think that you should keep the doors of communication open.  Tell him that you are a team, that you will deal with the finances and with the rough parts of life together.  But that you also think that enjoying life together is important.  You can even plan nice evenings, candle light dinners, with a rented movie.  You can do little things that will help him to forget about the finances and the crazy mundane parts of daily life.  Start conversations with him, hold his hand, make plans to do new and interesting things together.  Get together with other couples.  All these types of things make it so that no day is ever the same and the one before.  Do what he loves in bed and make him want more.
