[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 637630, member: 14557"] For me this really depends about situation. When things are calm or friendly, I'm of course okay with people I have a close relationship (and that certainly includes my kids and husband, but also friends and extended family) coming closer than the personal space I like to keep with strangers. (Hey, I have proof I have let at least my husband closer than three feet away at least twice ;) Sorry, had to.) Also with strangers there are situations where being closer than few feets away is normal (for example in concert or sport stands or full bus or subway and so on.) But when there is an argument or tence situation, at least I need that space even with those, with whom I have close relationship with. I really hate it, if someone for example tries to touch me when we argue. Or in fact even when it is just me who is upset, if other one doesn't 'ask' (and 'asking' and me giving permission can be, and usually is, nonverbal) first, if touching is okay. [/QUOTE]
