I am questioning the idea of asking my STB ex husband for a hug. (He wants the divorce.) I am a very affectionate person, always giving hugs to friends. My STB ex is not affectionate.. Throughout our long marriage I requested a hug when I wanted one and felt connected before, during, and after the hug. I’m not sure if still wanting a hug from STB ex is just me wanting connection or neediness???? It feels a little of both. Can you please comment on my models? Thank you.
