You know the problem. It is women like you who condemn men for showing affection and then turn around to blame them for being emotionally unavailable.
There is nothing sissy about a man praising his wife, showering her with love and compliments, making memories that would stick in his children's mind and create for them a perception of what married life should be...
There are so many angry, depressed, mentally damaged women who got that way because of their men being emotionally unavailable. Some , like you try to pretend that they don't mind and then they perpetuate the silly 'African man' myth to deceive younger women.
Wait till you're loved right. For now, dwell in your misery and keep telling yourself all that BS to feel better
