Quoted from RyanStl:and doesn't show affection in the form of hugs and kisses.
Maybe he shows it in other ways. The tires on her car always have air ? Her car always has gas ? The lawn is maintained ? The house is in good shape ? He treats her and her family with respect ?
Affection isn't always fireworks and skyrockets. Sometimes it is soft, and consistent over the years.
Consider too. Maybe your step-dad deserves someone better ?
Best wishes to you and your loved ones going forward.
