Hi Ss, I have been mostly trying to avoid physical contact with my WAH when I see him as that is a 180 for me. I am normally very huggy. So I don't hug or kiss him hello and I let him try to go for it. If he does I reciprocate.

However the other day he did something nice and I turned around and gave him a big spontaneous hug, you know, like you would normally do to your sweet, wonderful husband (LOL not this jerk who my H has turned into). He seemed really surprised and happy and hugged me back hard. It was not as weird and awkward as I would have thought. I let go and just started talking about something else.

So I say yeah try it. If he doesn't like it then don't do it again, as pilot says.

Hope you are having a good day!
Hugs, Lisa
