![]() So, what does it mean if you don’t want your partner to touch you? Psychology Today reviewed a study showing why women feel bothered by their husbands’ touch. ![]() Taking the time to figure out what your physical aversion means is the first step towards repairing your marriage. ![]() Losing the spark in a marriage can be a heartbreaking experience. There are many reasons you may feel this way, as well as strategies to fix it. Many women think something is wrong with them, but that is not true. If you don’t want your partner to touch you, you probably feel guilty and a little helpless. ![]() What Does It Mean if You Don’t Want Your Partner to Touch You? Still, it’s also the first step in repairing intimate relationships with a boyfriend or husband. It’s difficult to openly and honestly face issues in your relationship (especially related to physical intimacy). What do you do when you find yourself thinking, “I hate being touched by my husband”? Many factors contribute to this loss of romance, and unfortunately, it may result in diminished intimacy and an aversion to being touched. My guess is that when your wife isn't around and you read as a 'single straight guy', women are playing it safe (and therefore being very hands-off).Over time the romantic spark that was so bright when you and your husband got married can start to dim. I transitioned in my twenties and have experienced the fraught world women have to navigate, so I can completely understand being more guarded around single straight men, who often feel entitled to womens' time, attention and bodies. Because of that, they felt far more comfortable/safe (and more themselves) expressing casual touch around men who they discover are in a relationship already and/or gay. Many revealed that they tend to hold back/are less themselves around men (particularly with casual touch) due to concerns that their intentions/friendliness will be misconstrued or lead to expectations. I'm not a huge fan of random casual touch (especially when it comes to people I don't know well), so I asked some of my women friends about it at one point. My exes were men, so I can't speak as to the possible dynamics at play when a woman partner is involved, but I've experienced this as well. Posted by queenofbithynia at 1:05 PM on Aug (If you do like it but want it to happen even when you're alone.talk about your wife more? probably won't work as well, though.) though there would be nothing wrong with saying something. stepping back & away from them and towards your wife should stop them without you having to say anything, if you don't like it. I think women are much less likely than men to be physically aggressive in a semi-sexual way without invitation, in general, but when they do choose to do it they often seem strikingly unaware that it might be unwelcome or invasive. more likely they're sure she won't be offended since it's not behind her back in any way.īut they should be more concerned with whether you will be offended. this is not a reliable measure of a man as any woman knows if she thinks about it, but it can feel like one.Īlternately it's some sort of mildly hostile gesture towards your wife - putting their hands on her territory, so to speak - but I think this is a much much rarer thing. as is more likely to happen when their wife isn't there.Īlso, if women find you attractive but are strangers, the presence of a wife is sort of a voucher for your general decency and safety - like, look, another woman knows him really well and likes him! she seems ok, so he must be ok. Married men are often intriguing because they are unavailable, but this is easily ruined if they don't know they're supposed to be unavailable. They're attracted to you, or not attracted but like you, and having your wife there means they can flirt without being disillusioned by you taking it seriously.
