I think that the difference here is that in June, she reached for your hand. And that we are supposed to give them space and not pursue, but are to be approachable when approached first. Yes, I know it svcks and is so hurtful, but from what my coach and the vets here have advised me to do. It's hard because I am the sort of woman who needs to be hugged a couple of times a day, and my H used to oblige me, but won't touch me now. And sometimes flinches away if I touch him. And I don't think you can change the dynamic between your W and daughter either. But it sounds as if you had a nice weekend overall!
Linda, thanks for posting on my thread.
Yes, I think you're correct. I've thought about this, and said to myself that I need to be more careful when drinking. In this case, it was like a slap in the face because the night was going so well.
Sorry to hear about you and you H with respect to touching. The hardest thing is when you are giving them space, trying to meet their needs and there is absolutely no reciprocation or they are doing the exact opposite of meeting your needs.
