I'm sorry your husband is acting that way even after you voiced your feelings to him. He is completely disregarding your complaint, and that is not cool. I will say that I know that all husbands are not like that--my husband is full of affectionate hugs.

If he keeps doing it, I wonder if it is working for him. I'm not trying to go all Dr. Phil on you, but if my husband is doing something that doesn't work, and I usually have to tell him as much point blank, he stops.
