it's still really funny to me that when i asked how much nipple piercings hurt, my piercer was like "well it's different for everyone so idk, but you might say fuck." and in retrospect that's the most accurate description i have heard before or since. i did indeed say fuck
I highly recommend having a clingy and lovey dovey partner. Life is too short to be with people who act like it's painful to show that you love someone.
