Yes, definitely on both of those.

Don't initiate hugs but if she does it's fine to hug her back. After BD my XW became the master of the side-armed hug, where you're standing next to the person and just kind of reach around and hug them without any body contact. I was just like "REALLY????" I didn't say it but I sure thought it. That's what a 25 year relationship comes down to, wow. Anyway every once in a while she tries to hug me and now I give her the side-armed hug, LOL!
