My husband is incredibly loving but he's not a hugger or a hand holder except now with grandchildren for whom he's the Pied Piper. It's a fault I can live with!

OP - I'm very lucky because he's a snuggler and a good sleeper. I think he could probably even snuggle all night long but I'm the one who usually rolls over because I get too hot to sleep. But watching TV I use his lap as a pillow.

Been dating someone for a bit and he hates holding. I love it though. You all lucky.

Love when my boyfriend holds me. It is the best greatest feeling in the world. We've also been together for about a year. Can't imagine life without those holds.

It was really nice to read something positive in the relationship section.

Maybe it's because I'm on my period but this post is making me tear up. I too love being held and I'm so happy for you.

+1 left my abusive marriage and years later am with someone I trust and am so relaxed and happy with him. He also loves to be held, gives the best hugs, and is my happy place.

This is really sweet, OP. Also divorced and I agree. I feel so safe with my boyfriend. Sending you good vibes!

OP - it's calm. It's not new relationship energy. We've been together one year.

Sweet post

Lucky you, OP! I'm leaving a relationship similar to the one you describe having with your ex, and this gives me hope.

wish I could find this it sounds so ice to have a connection like that

Good for OP. To me there's nothing like being in the arms of a man who loves you.

I didn't have a relationship where I felt emotionally safe with my XH. As a result I didn't find him attractive at all and sex felt like a chore, which I still did weekly up until the end.

With my new partner I actually miss him during the day time. Even when I'm too tired to have sex some evenings I just want to be held by him. It feels so comforting and like my heart rate goes down. It's so wonderful and confirms why I felt so miserable for a decade in my other relationship.
