If you're an affectionate person, does it come back to bite you in the ass do you think? do you tend to shy away from someone who's too 'over the top' and resist returning that affection?

You mean like a touchy feely kinda person? That kinda thing?

JustErin said:

yep

I was a very affectionate and touchy feely person at one time but not anymore.

I do tend to shy away from people who are touchy feely as even though I would consider myself to be affectionate, I am not the huggy, get close type with anyone other than my son and a romantic interest.

I don't show affection until I actually get a signal from the woman that she wants me. then I turn all mushy and she runs away.

yyes
yes

Unsolicited touchy feely people REALLY REALLY creep me out....

....close talkers, too.....folks that get all up in your face.....UUGGGHHH!!!!

I'm guarded with my affections....but once I get comfortable with people, I'm appropriately affectionate....

org hugging, on the other hand.....

I love affection

Natisse said:

Not at all. Although I tend to dispense my touchy feely-ness in a very discretionary way, as frankly I don't think EVERYONE deserves it

Physically affectionate person using a large handful of discernment

If it does bite my ass - then I learn something

I am with you...strangers that want to hug me freak me the hell out.
Also the close talkers need to back the fuck up away from my face.
If I know ya and love ya...watch out ...you are gonna get lots of affection.
I save it for the special peeps

I crave affection

Sorry Nat, I'll be honest - I'm not sure if I understand the question.

Are you asking if being affectionate is a problem???

I am an affectionate person. And I like affection, from my hubby, kids, and my animals..But I am like others on here, I don't want some random stranger all up in my face or touching me...it's just weird...

mdiver said:

I love you

I'm doing fine.....getting geechy as the time gets shorter and shorter....she and I had a heart to heart yesterday morning...she's getting nervous about the reunion, so I had to reassure her that everything that we've fixed since I've been gone IS fixed.....just needs us to put the seal of approval on it together....

How are you and Phil doin'?

reneGade20 said:

I could not imagine the different emotions both of you must be feeling. Being so far apart and only being able to communicate through words is hard some times.
I am sure as soon as you two are back within arms reach again all of her worries will melt away.
I am very proud of both of you and look up to you guys for getting through all of this considering the circumstances to which you have been in for a long time now.
I am so glad that it is countdown time for you

My sweetheart was here for a few days to help me purge and pack. We got a lot done surprisingly...considering we had been apart 11 weeks- the longest since we have been together. Sounds like nothing when I think of you guys though.
We made the most of our few days together.
Now our countdown truly begins.....
He will be back here Sept 20th and we fly home Sept 25th

shanti0608 said:

What are you talking about? You two are MY motivation to hurry my hindquarters home so that we can finally lay all this to rest....in a manner of speaking....
We've faced the past, so that ghost can be exercised....now its the future that we can go into, a future that she can face knowing that I'm there with her only....

....and trust me when I tell you that when you post that y'all are headed home, I'll be around 38 days left.....so I'll be cheering more than you and Phil....

in any event, as always, I'm happy for y'all.....

reneGade20 said:

Well within every relationship there are hurdles and I am inspired and encouraged by all that you both have overcome together. The four of us are very blessed and I think we all realise that.

I am so looking forward to you being reunited with your beautiful family.

Much love to you and yours.


I smile every time I think about the moment you finally make it home!!!

shanti0608 said:

Just wish that it hadn't taken me so long to figure out that I always had what I was looking elsewhere for....but better a bit later in life than actually doing the dumb thing and getting divorced.... I'd probably spend the rest of my life kicking myself.....

All the in return to you and yours..... and my smile gets bigger as each day ends.....
