Oh I have been neglected and he knows that, I don't like talking about this particular phobia out of embarrassment and shame but the reasons for it, are deeply related to being touched. So neither of us are able to really make sense of why it began and such so that's why he has said that. However he also says why isn't important really, as long as I know WHY it bothers me now so we can work on that
