I miss intimacy and being in love

For context my gf and I broke up around 2 and half months ago and while I’m (mostly) over missing her damn I miss the intimacy that came with a relationship (and I’m not only talking about sex). I miss making out, cuddling and just feeling close with another person.

After a chat with a friend the other night I also realised I’m probably not built for casual intimacy (the closest I could do is exclusive fwb )

These feelings have just been popping up lately and I wanted to get them out. I’m luckily gonna be quite busy over the next month with friends, a trip, and a new job so hopefully that’ll help keep these feelings at bay for now.

My ex gave me this pillow thing as a gift (she knew I liked having something to cuddle when I sleep) at first I liked it cause it kinda reminded me of her when I fell asleep.

We’ve now been broken up for 2 months and haven’t spoken since, but I certainly don’t hate her. At the start of the breakup I didn’t use it and when I went through my angry phase I didn’t. Now I do again but not because it reminds me of her just cause I like to have something when I sleep and honestly even if I got rid of it I could see myself buying myself something similar so from that point of view it’s kinda a waste especially since it still brings me comfort in more of a giant stress ball kinda way. I’ve also used it long enough that I’m now used to it and cuddling other things don’t help me fall asleep as easily.

Just looking for different perspectives.
