Question for those supporters and sufferers out there in relationships.... Is it common when in a relationship with a sufferer to avoid kissing? I've been seeing my sufferer for almost 8 months now. While he's done a lot of warming up in terms of affection (in the beginning, he avoided it like the plague), kissing usually only happens when saying goodbye. A hug and a peck on the lips. But it also took me a long time to norm that behavior with him. However, that's really the only time we ever really kiss. No make-out sessions, no PDA's for damn sure, and no kissing during sex either. I'm a super affectionate person by nature, but I'm learning to pump the brakes for him so he's comfortable and gets there at his pace. Just wondering if others have similar experiences..... Thanks!
