We don't have sex very often atm (about three or four times since our youngest was born a year ago), due to tiredness and lack of interest on my part. Dh is very understanding about it, but what gets on my nerves is that he's constantly groping me (things like squeezing my bum or my breasts or similar), albeit in a friendly, sometimes jokey, manner. But I hate it! I've told him before, but he thinks it's positive, showing his desire for me and his love for me. I just want a hug every now and then, but dh is not very good on the non-sexual touching, which I miss. Also, dh thinks it's entirely normal to do this in front of the children, it's what he saw his dad doing, but my parents never did and I think it's inappropriate.
What does MN think?
