Hi there,
Short answer, yes. Companionship and the touch of another person are great things. It is very difficult to go from having someone to not having anyone. It sucks because you know you can't be with that person anymore in the situation that many of us have been in. But that doesn't take away the very real need for compansionship and a partner. I'm the most single that I've been in a
really long time (okay, okay, forget the part about the fact that I'm still technically married til 8/24). Prior to my stbX, I
always had a boyfriend. It's hard to get used to for sure, but I've started to feel hopeful that I will find love again. I just really hope it's sooner than later!
Best.
