I love physical touch but my husband has a low tolerance for it. Somedays he is in a mood to not be touched at all. I respect it but it can be hard for me if Iβm in a mood to cuddle. If physical touch is a batter Iβve learned to avoid the things that drain it the most while doing things that he can hand for long periods of time. Heβs learned to satisfy my desire to be close while being comfortable. When we lay on the couch together, Iβm usually below him so he can get up the second he starts feeling uncomfortable. When I want to cuddle but he doesnβt then we hold hands or sit close without touching.
I have a cousin who doesnβt really like physical affection all too much. One time she told me she doesnβt like it and I stopped initiating unless she wanted to. Itβs really easy to listen and be understanding of someoneβs boundaries.
I do also like how you admit your partner needed to learn when is too much and to not take it as a rejection, because that can be a real struggle for people. He learnt, he understands and your relationship is far better from that
In case anyone is unfamiliar with the love languages theory, physical touch is used in a non-sexual context. Sex is its own category and not a part of the love languages.
We're like cats or dogs. We like being pet, but some like it less, some love it and never get tired, but some get overstimulated after a while. And you just have to step back and give it a break.

My old relationships were like that too, Iβm glad we found good men

itβs like my highest love language but when someone other than me touches me anywhere it tickles horribly and i start spazzing out
so glad you feel safe enough with your husband like this
