Situation: Jeff is an older gentleman now, somewhat friendly if you approach him but he wouldn't go out of his way to talk with anyone. Growing up, his family was rather cold and distant. His parents partied endlessly, his younger brother reported.
At a family gathering one time, Jeff's youngest daughter, age 6, asked, "Why doesn't daddy hug back when you hug him?" Have you ever noticed, some folks really don't like to be touched - by anyone?
Lessons learned: Touching is a very personal, loving characteristic. If you are a 'touchy-feely-huggy' person, beware of being married to someone who doesn't like to be touched. You will feel like you're living in a coffin, a very cold state.
Outcome: Nothing changed. All relationships are the same. Who can say if they're happy or not?
