This chapter has really stood out to me so far. I thought it was pathetic I'm still sitting here, missing him, and crying sometimes... I keep convincing myself that it wasn't so bad, and I'd do anything I can to make him want me again. The fortunate truth is, that's no longer an option, and it isn't even in my hands anymore.
When reading the section on sexual withdrawal it explained everything I am feeling right now. "report a heightened craving for sex, particularly for sex with their lost love." Not too share too much information, but this need and desire has been the sole focus of my thoughts around him... and it's to
feel the love, not even just sex. I've been so alone, and feeling so lonely and vulnerable.. and the idea of any other man repulses me. I miss him and ONLY him.
This whole chapter (even book) speaks to me. It's wonderful to feel validation for my feelings, and know they're semi-normal or expected... even if they're all too lingering.
