Touched out 😩
Show your support
I’m the same way! With my fiancé 😓 he loves physical touch. He wants to cuddle & just hug me but I don’t because seen my LO isn’t good at latching my nipples are very tender & hurts if someone comes close to barely touching them like hugging me or accidentally touching me in that area I get so mad 😟 so I tell them no touching me right now! But he has been very patient with me in this process and letting me heal. So I’m definitely blessed! 🥹
Totally normal! I am two weeks postpartum and I get mad rage when I feel touched out. I have two toddlers that want to cuddle and touch baby always when I’m trying to feed! I feel so bad and I am trying to get a better handle on it. It happens to so many of us and it’s not always talked about. My hubbys love language is also physical touch and when he hugs me he also wants to feel me up, I snap at him all the time and then feel bad cause he’s not doing it to piss me off.
@Samantha-Jo my 8 year old is always trying. To kiss the baby while I'm nursing. I accidentally got snappy with her the other day. I had to apologize and explain that I feel very overstimulated and overwhelmed when her and her brother are touchy feely and in my bubble during that time
Thank you all for helping me to feel normal 😭😭 it’s literally so he worst feeling ever! And @Samantha-Jo overstimulated is literally the perfect way to describe it. How did you all get you husband/ partner to understand? I feel like it’s so hard explaining something that he has never experienced and he doesn’t fully get it. Usually I’d want a hug but I’m like don’t hug me right now 😭😭
Totally normal girlfriend!!! Just remember it will pass. Just be gentle in telling your partner while you understand and appreciate his language of love you just need space right now.
