I know--I want to touch too but my H isn't a touchy guy. He really gets annoyed when I touch him in public--doesn't like "public displays of affection". I have to respect that. I am always thinking about whether my actions and reactions are about me or him. Usually it's about me and I need to remember to look at it from his point of view too and to respect his feelings about things. I really want him to have the same feelings as me and I've tried to make him feel the same and understand (wow, what a control freak I am!). I am learning to accept that he (and other people) can have different ideas and opinions than me, and it's OK
So, try to let her run the show for awhile and see what happens. She is very confused about her feelings right now and she'll have to sort through them herself. Your support and love will be appreciated eventually.
