Peaches,
I don't think you are wrong. It sounds like you are yearning and longing for an intimacy that maybe you never had. I feel like this goes back to our discussions about attachment. It sounds like you are very attached to T and are now willing to risk more intimacy in that attachment. That is beautiful. The fact that it took 10 years is also beautiful, so don't judge yourself harshly. It gives me hope!
I agree with earthmama. There are many different types of relationships.
Like you, I am also wishing for more intimate relationships. I think that's because we find ourselves in those relationships. It's part of our journey now to find them. Sigh.
