Im a very efficient person and since our daughter is in our bed and we don’t have the best couch for cuddles we never really get to cuddle so I’m tending to want more hugs but my partner is telling me I’m asking for to many but I feel like I’m not asking to many times.

We only hug a few times a day because we both work full time jobs and only have 1 day off a week thats the same... well usually hug/kiss once in the morning, and then once at night when we both are home, but mostly I just cuddle up to him while we sleep

Maybe 2-3, but he leaves while we’re in bed in the morning still. So, I get a kiss goodbye. And then a hug when he gets home. Then a couple more before bedtime

The fact that the lowest option is less than 10 is crazy.

like once or twice? sometimes we forget and go a few days without hugging lmao

I would love for it to be at least 10 plus but I'm children's father is like anti touch

Normally I’d say 3-4 times a day bc I hug him at random but also before he goes to work and once he gets home … well with pregnancy and him being home more recently every couple hrs he’s getting a hug 🤣

20+ a day??? Damn are yall handcuffed to each other?

Get a giant bed guardrail with the netting meant for toddlers and put the kiddo between u and that so u can get close to your man again

Like 1 or 2 maybe? Some days none as we have a quick kiss before he goes to work but not really a hug. 20 sounds mad, on work days I see my husband for like 5 hours so hugging every 15 minutes seems a lot!

Maybe 2-3 times, sometimes none.

0 😂

10 being the lowest seems a bit crazy!

Based on the choice of poll options, you are expecting too much.
Edit: [too much] ... of one person. As adults we're not supposed to have all our needs met by one person. This isn't meant to offend, but if you were looking for advice, emotional sovereignty strengthens relationships

Sorry I thought you were asking for opinions.... Didn't mean to be rude. I actually thought I was more polite than the others who described it as "crazy"

I did not describe her emotional need which is valid as crazy. Actually relate a lot to her as I could be glued to my partner all day and would not mind. Don’t throw me under the bus. But from the votes and comments, it was obvious that most people’s average was much lower. Which is what I was highlighting.

I have 3 under 5. I'm out touched most of the time 🤣
We do cuddle after they're in bed and we hug throughout the day. No specific amount or time. Just depends how we feel on the day. My 18mo is also very pissed off every time we hug 🤣

I dont like to be touched 😅 especially after a long day with the kids. If hes off from work, then i get some time off a little. We cuddle maybe 1-2 times a week and its like 10 minutes, if that.... I believe I have a sensory issue 🤷♀️ but he respects that. Usually he lets me come to him and its just me laying my head on his shoulder for a few seconds.

Maybe like 5-8 times? I feel like we hug a lot tbh

0 unless I initiate the hug :(
Im honestly so disappointed in some of the reply’s to this I never expected so much judgement for a simple question every person is different and has different affection levels I’m not here judging the people who never hug there partner so why judge someone who’s needs are more!? You’ve no idea the struggles that I’ve been going through the distance I’ve felt recently due to mental health reasons. You never know what someone’s going through and why they might just need a little bit more attention and affection just to feel connected and secure again.

Hmmm- we spend quite a lot of time apart at work each day (10-12 hours), so even achieving 10 would be a huge stretch.

10? A day? Wow! Lucky if it’s 10 a month 🤦🏼♀️ my husband isn’t very affectionate that way

I don’t keep track…I feel like we are pretty affectionate people and we might have a few days where it’s up to 10 a day but it’s certainly not that much everyday. If I had to guess I’d say on average 4?

Just read through all the comments and just wanted to say I’m really sorry you’re having a rough time. I wish you the best with everything. ❤️

Maybe peeps be jealous. lol my husband never hugs me unless I initiate so I just gave up. Enjoy those cuddles
