I hate being tickled, how do I make my husband understand this? I'm really not comfortable being touched other than just a hug, I've been working on making myself endure other "marital" touching (I don't like that either, it's very unpleasant/uncomfortable, but force myself to do it to keep him happy), but when he tickles me it just ruins my ability to trust that my body is safe with him at all. I was misused as a child, and he knows this. I've told him before that I don't like being tickled. I thought he understood, but I guess he doesn't.
I love him madly, and I know he loves me, but it's getting to the point where I almost don't want him to touch me at all, because it's so miserable!
How do I deal with this?
