That is why the central crisis in my marriage was manifested in my 2bx's refusal to give me a hug after my father died.
wow, that's creepy. My friend said the exact same thing and it was the turnnig point in her M too. Her H was definitely a f@ckbuddy type, not a lover. They are in the process of D. So she is in search of the sex-love connection. There's really nothing better.
