In many ways I'm the opposite. I have sat next to my T...and want more than anything to hug her/be close...I am very afraid of the magnetic force that is driving me to do it. I believe T will handle it well if I do but won't necessarily encourage close contact. We hold hands but that's it. The need for more is very strong though. I guess touch is an issue for a lot of people, whether it involves not wanting it or craving it.
