Quote: What are some other ways you can connect with her physically? Will she allow you to give her a backrub or anything like that?
Yes, she does allow me to do that. She loves it when I rub her feet, legs, back, neck, arms, and run my fingers through her hair. I have done it for years and I've never had to be asked to do it.
Now...I can count on 1 hand the number of times she's given me a back rub or anything since we've been together. So part of me thinks she needs to learn how to touch me a little bit at a time. Like asking for a back rub or something.
Right now she draws the line when I inch up from the legs or move around from her rips. And I back away and go back to whatever part I was working on.
She used to always let me scrub her in the bathtub, but since she moved out she won't bath in my presence. We did take a shower together months ago, but she says she no longer remembers the episode.
