What do you mean by intimacy?? if you are talking about the bedroom, while it's important, it is not everything. I miss the kind of intimacy that comes from long walks, lots of talks, and the ability to be with someone who can be quiet with you................someone who can be content to just be. The kind of intimacy that lets you know you are on the same page with your partner, whether it is physical, emotional, and/or spiritual. Thanks for your comments!!
