Is it wrong?(1)

Is it wrong to want to lay on the sofa and want to lay your head on a man's shoulder with his arm around you? I so crave togetherness.

Not in my eyes.  It's a basic human need.

Well said. I fully agree.

No, there is nothing wrong with being human.

If it is then put me in the wrong column with you.

It is a very safe, comforting place to be. 

By the way, Ish; would you perhaps be from the UP of Michigan?   I ask because I well know a town with those three letters in the beginning of the name.

Wish I could have that closeness... My SO of 19 years does not want to be touched at all.  He had shown signs of dementia for the past 5 years.  He is in arrogant denial and will not get tested by a neurologist.  His GP is aware of all this and says there is nothing he can do.  SO and I have been sleeping in separate rooms for 3 years now.  No touching, no hugging, no kissing.. His oldest son has durable POA as I opted not to be involved with money issues, etc... However, son lives 9-10 hours away.  They have not seen each other in 2 years.  My grown kids, also a long distance away, do not want to have anything to do with SO anymore.  They have seen how badly he treats me.  They want me to leave him.  Something has to give soon or I will go crazy.

I totally understand.  My husband has no since of what caregivers are going through.  He says and does things that drive other family members and friends (or those I thought were friends) away.  I live with someone I have to care for but not the guy I married 35 years ago.  He is insistent that he can care for himself and then wants help with the most basic things.  Sometimes I just want to walk away, run away...but I wont.  I so crave the friendship we had and feel lost.....

I'm from Missouri.  Old hockey nickname. 

Thanks everyone for your support.  Now all I have to do is find someone willing.
