Need more insight for me if its bad for me to get involved with a woman who cannot show Affection?

More details.. She is a teacher, But teaches special class. Has a good hearth and does way to much for people who never give back. Her personal friends are woman in realtionships with addicts. She does like like to hug or cuddle. She will have sex but its just about intercoarse and release. She told me straight up she is not into the affection thing and has been told by others she is not. I asked her to talk about why she is like that and she will not open up? So I guess I am suppose to except her for who she is. She finds things wrong in many things. Instead of whats right. But the dam truth is I really like her. Becuse of the conversations we have talking about her Logic and my feelings. I express my feelings very openly as I have came from the world of no feelings and addiction many years ago and have been sober 24 years. I know there is a physical attraction there on my part as she is 8 years younger. She loves to cook. My fear is I may shut down my emotions. But maybe I can help also?

wow i am a woman and i know a lil something about being withdrawn from affection. maybe she was never shown affection as a child so there for the idea of giving or receiving it is a bit unheard of. or maybe something has happened in her past that keeps her from opening up with you on that level. whatever the case is you need to decide if you want to be with someone like this that may never change.there is no harm in helping her but keep in mind that you alone dont have the power to change her.can you afford to lose yourself in order to offer her help that she may not want?good luck!!!

Yes, I have to agree something happened in her past. However, I was misstreated alot growing up. I didn't know how to respond to someone that cared for me or even gave me hug.

Sex didn't help either it was like going through the motions
with no feelings attached.

There are many types of people that want to much or to little affection. You have to find a balance with what you are comfortable with.

Can you handle that she doesn't show the amount of affection you want? If you can then there is your answer.

I will tell you this you can break her from this habit but it will take time.:)

If you can live with the fact that she does not like to show affection then go for it. Just remember, you are not going to change her. In fact...relationships are the most exciting, interesting and yes...affectionate when they are new. If you think she lacks affection now....... I think you understand what I am saying. I think everyone deserves an affectionate relationship...why settle? Best wishes to you.

Let her go.... If she don't show you any emotions chances are she don't have any for you.... Stay away from women who hang out with friends with addicts...Best advice I can give...
