It's nothing serious. Just something that's been on the back of my mind all day really.
My SO told me this morning that a girl at his highschool has been hugging him and making him feel slightly better. I'm glad that he's feeling better because of the physical contact, but it bugs me that she's hugging him. That it's not MY physical contact he's receiving. It's not that I don't want him to have female friends, quite the opposite. It's just...I don't know, it makes me jealous because she can hug him and I can't because I'm so far away :/ He told me that awhile back he had a crush on her too. I said it was ok to have crushes on someone, that it's only natural, and when I said it better not go any further than just friendship (in a joking way, but still serious) he laughed and said I had nothing to worry about, and that he wouldn't replace me in his heart with anyone else. It's not that I don't trust him. I trust him with my life. It just bugs me. It makes me envious, jealous, to say the least.
I don't consider it cheating, but it doesn't feel right to me. What are your thoughts on this, guys?
Just to add: he doesn't get much physical contact from his parents. Never gets hugs or any of that. The only real affection he gets is from me and a few relatives.
