Hey, I get a two-fer.
First on cuddling. I'm the most alpha male imaginable yet I always saw cuddling as simultaneous with no cuddler or cuddlee
In fact my wonderful caregiver wife and I still tear up whenever Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars song comes on the radio
These lyrics so expressed our experience as I lay prostrate on our couch, burned out by radiation and my wife would lay there besides me and we would hug each other.

If I just lay here

For those who have never heard this song, here is the U tube link
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

And I definitely hold the championship title on being the WORST patient passenger and criticizing unfairly my caregiver driver. Sorry but all of your husbands would have looked like saints compared to me. "You didn't cut him off" "Speed up". "Hit his ass if he doesn't move over" were just mild comments.
