  • I could do one of my usual essays on the topic of the importance of trust and touch in relationships, but this sounds like a men's-rights BS fantasy, so I'll keep it brief.

    What you describe is not how healthy, mature, and loving relationships work. She refuses to discuss her change of policy, so she's apparently not open to compromise and she's also not good at communication. I suggest you stop asking to touch her since it's pretty clear she doesn't like it; if you have to ask permission to do something in any context, then it's obvious the default starting position is 'no'. I also suggest you consider whether you're willing to suffer the indignity of being in a relationship with someone who keeps her barriers up, clearly doesn't trust you, and only tolerates you touching her.
