I was just thinking the same thing, Lass. And heapmom, not everyone on here thinks the same way as Poe. Stick around awhile and I think you will be able to benefit from the many different viewpoints available here.
I am intrigued and bothered by the fact that your H is not even willing to give you a simple hug. However, I've been criticized in the past for "asking" for hugs (both my W and members here on the board have criticized me). If you feel like a hug, give him one. Don't ask him for one. If you want him to hug you, then you need to to tell him that you want hugs from your husband, and that if you don't get them, then you will take that as his way of addressing your request for hugs, and your behavior will reflect that.
