No two families are the same, which is why the relationships between its members and the level of affection, among other things, can differ drastically from one household to another.
This became clear to the redditor u/Quick-Impress-146, who, unlike his wife, was raised in a family that’s very physically affectionate. The differences in the spouses’ upbringing meant having to adjust, which was seemingly difficult for the wife to do. It went so far, the husband had to ask the AITA community if he’s a jerk for hugging his brother in front of his wife.
What seems to be excessive levels of affection to some can be completely normal to others
