I don’t have underlying anxiety disorders. Ex DH and I just got used to not cuddling. I would sleep on the edge of the bed. It was just unfortunate that we let that happen for so long. But with my bf, he says come here, he pulls me close & then puts his arms around me and I just love it 😍

My goodness.


Do you have an underlying anxiety disorder? If so, be careful of who you’re attracted to just bc they dispel your anxiety. Btdt.

Have you stopped on either one ?

I’m so happy for you OP. I crave hugs from my DH 30 yrs in so I get it. Thankfully, he likes hugs too.

Being in my man’s arms feels like the safest place in the world. All problems come to a stop during that time. It’s magical.

I love it too. My boobs hurt the second half of my cycle, and I love the feel and warmth of hands holding them up even if it doesn’t lead to anything.

I hope this cuddler stays with you but god forbid if he doesn't, there are free huggers and professional cuddlers, at least there were before pandemic.

yea, my DH loves to snuggle and touch me, but I can't be touched when I'm sleeping. It wakes me up. Plus he's like a furnace, and I get too hot if I am near him in bed. He said the solution is for me to sleep naked, but that doesn't help. I still get too hot. He sleeps in the nude with just a thin duvet, even in the middle of winter.

Good luck PP! I find this a good way to tell if the relationship is a green flag. The safe, calm, relaxed feeling instead of intrigue, excitement, insecurity.
