My hub and I are super cuddly, and seeing as we spend most of the semester alone, he (and I) are used to a lot of affection, but how do I tell him that comments like "You're so beautiful" are awkward when our best friends since frosh year are around? The same goes for the other side, my friends knew us mostly as two good (single) buddies, and I find myself on the receiving end of glares when he reaches for my hand or gives me a peck on the cheek. Is there a good way to make sure both groups are comfortable?

I'm starting to think my cuddle-muffin isn't as dedicated as I am or else he would put in a little effort and pack up to see me, right? We live about an hour and half apart too and neither of us have cars. Does he ever pack a duffel and get on a train to see you?
