    So my boyfriend and i have been together about 6 months or so, i love him to bits and the feeling is very much mutual. We absolutely adore each other. However, i am a very physical person, my love language is very much touch, and when i dont see him frequently/see him but dont get much time for snuggles or anything that involves physical contact (sexual or otherwise) i find it very difficult. Now i know this next bit might seem silly to some people but i find it very challenging to deal with. For background, he is trans so sex can sometimes be a touchy subject and depends very much on his mood and what happened at work, and i am totally ok with that, but i dont know how to stop myself from getting upset/disappointed if i dont get much time with him.

    I really just get so upset and i dont really know why, i just feel bad about not getting the *touch* i need, but then also feel guilty because i dont want to be needy or clingy and i know its sometimes rally hard for him and i want to be as supportive as possible, and i just dont know what to do about these feelings, theyre just so, intense and controlling.

    does anyone have ideas?
