Thanks for the comments, Nopkins. I guess I'm just trying to figure out what to do when I feel like hugging or kissing her. I guess I just grab the nearest dog or kid and transfer my love to them. Or what if she snuggles up to me at night... do I snuggle back, lay there like a stone, or roll away from her? This attitude is so counter-intuitive for me that I feel a bit confused. My normal response would be to snuggle back.
I wonder if she thinks I am fooling around with someone.
Nopkins, don't bother asking if I want "further thoughts" from you. I always welcome your perspective.
