I feel so unsure of what to do. My husband is affectionate, does things around the house, we get on really really well but he never ever touches me. Occasionally a light touch on the shoulder or knee but never a hug or anything more. Is this normal as you grow old together? Is this why all my middle aged friends either have dogs, lovers or are getting divorced? Should I just keep going, will this ever change? I am not sure I can spend the next 50 years with no physical touch. I can't remember if this predates the ?EA or whether it is a result of it. Even SI is mechanical and does not involve any hugs or cuddles. I get a kiss every am and evening initiated by him but the child in me wants to stop this.....I won't!!
