I'm intrigued what remote looks like to you.. it's been a week and I'm climbing the fucking walls
The transition isn't easy. Like quitting any addictive substance. But perhaps consider for yourself why the lack of sex is so distressing. Maybe there is a gentle way to find balance or perhaps something altogether new and satisfying.

An interesting outlook you have there. Do you not feel unattractive or unwanted at all? It'd feel like that wanting to be as close and intwined with that person had gone and I'd be feel like I'm sacrificing a large part of one of life's most instinctive and natural pleasures. Surely it's best to move on? Appreciate the conversation by the way

Sage advice. Same advice I have received from basically everyone I've ever met in the past 15 years... I often wonder why I never listen.

I hope the curiosity led to some progress FF. You’re a much better person than I to manage to cope with that intimacy hole. I often go back to my favourite James line; ‘If I hadn’t seen such riches I could live with being poor...’
I think it's because I've known such riches, that I'm satisfied to live with this sort of intimacy poverty.

But I have again many platonic, imaginary, remote friends who I share with. It's not so lonely.

You must really love your guy so that's fair - it just doesn't feel reciprocated or he has his own reasons for not wanting to let loose on you that perhaps need exploring further

Perhaps I need a friend like you, happy to chat only to keep each other's fires lit if you'd be interested

Apologies, I didn’t mean to suggest loneliness. That’s a whole different complex subject! Do you think if I struck a match close enough to you I could cause a forest fire?
