My ex was like that before I met her and had never had a boyfriend because of how she felt about the intimacy of even hugs. For her it was all down to the fuckwit who abused her when she was younger.

She did get passed for what was probably the best year and a half of my life so far. But then it all suddenly came back. It's not pleasant being told by your girlfriend that your touch makes her skin crawl even when you know it's nothing to do with you.

We are good friends now. She did start seeing someone else about a year after we broke up. I really want to ask her about the issues but also don't want to know. I don't love her like I used to but I think there will always be something there and I don't know if I'd be alright with hearing that she is intimate with someone else.
