Need for constant physical contact

I have BPD (I haven’t met criteria for some years now) and I’m in a long term relationship with by boyfriend (10 years). I love him so much and he’s my everything. And I’ve noticed that I have such a big need to always be hugging him or holding hands, etc., or else I don’t feel like he loves me anymore.

I’m curious if you guys feel the same when you’re in a relationship (or friendship) and if it’s something that’s related to BPD or if it’s just something “quirky” about me.

Thank you!
