It's not my place to give details but I will generalize the situation. Due to past traumas in my partner's life, it makes it hard for them to like any type of physical contact--their love language is spending time. For me, I have my own past traumas that make me reach out to cuddling and physical contact as a way of coping--my love language is physical contact. I have many mental illnesses and have battled them for years and I have to beg my partner to mentally prepare themselves in a bit for when I'm going to have a mental breakdown and I'll need a hug even for a min. I hate having to ask them to do something they are uncomfortable with but at the same time, it's something that I need in my day to day life just to help my mental state. It doesnt matter if its romantic or platonic. In this case, I would need platonic, as I am faithful. My mental health is a struggle even for the doctors and I'm trying with every bit to hold on. I dont like to cry in front of people but if I cry in front of you, you should know that I trust you more than I trusted my friends in highschool. All this is harder with a pandemic when resources are scarce. I'm not sure what to do here 😅 Anyways, just thought I'd share!
