100% @creative_writer the narratives we inherit from our social and cultural context can heavily influence us, including telling us the 'correct' way to do relationships. For example, some people see sharing a bed as the norm, and if folks aren't sharing a bed it's because there's issues in the relationship. As a fellow touch-sensitive person, I can tell you now that I will never be able to share a bed with someone all the time. I need my space, need my own blankets, and I can't fall asleep with someone else touching me! And some people might think that makes me a 'prude' or something, but that's just what my needs are in a relationship. 

 

To my mind, the only two people who get a say in how a relationship 'ought' to be, are the people in it!
