She maybe doing it because she feels insecure and is laying claim on her territory for all your family to see. She sees that you are close to them and might be scared that they don't like her or will influence your relationship. The best thing to do is to talk to her when you two are alone. Explain how you feel but don't make her feel rejected - just say the touchy feely stuff isn't necessary when you have an audience.

Just tell her. Let her know you love it when your alone but you feel uncomfortable when your family is around, she should understand. She will probably be embarassed that she embarassed you. Honesty and communication is the best thing you can give to each other. Good luck!
