[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][i][u]Not to be mean, but I dated a guy who was like this, and it was a big factor in our breakup. [/u][/i][/b] I didn't want to have kids with someone who was so clearly uncomfortable with physical affection.  It made me feel like sh*t as his girlfriend, and I thought it would be worse for a kid.

Try to suck it up as much as you can.  (or maybe try to be sweaty all the time?  my kid knows not to hug me when we've just finished a workout/run.  lol.)  When your kid is older, he/she will likely grow out of it or you can explain that you're just not that physical.  You might also want to talk to someone about why you're like this; you might get some coping strategies.[/quote]

Not to be mean, but I am prob the opposite end of the spectrum, and I have dated people who were too touchy-feely, and it was a factor in our breakup too, b/c  I couldn't imagine a future where this person's neediness seemed like a bottomless cup.   It really takes all kinds![/quote]
