Yeah, he's done it. Not recently perhaps. But he has picked at things on his skin recently.
And yet, when I need reassurance, or wish to reach out for some reason, I put out my hand for a handshake.
(shakes head in wonder)
Maybe it's like being a mom. It's not as disgusting, when the boogery hands are hands you care about.
I really think he doesn't know he does it. I used to think it was a deliberate gesture of disrespect to me. But he mentioned recently that he frequently fidgets with his hands, and I think that's true.
On the other hand, he frequently forgets to turn off his cell phone, and I have to wait politely while he does so. And he usually peeks at who has called. :( Now he may not be embarassed by that, but he should be.
