I'm recently separated after a 20 year marriage. ExH and I didn't sleep together for probably the last year and were in separate rooms until he moved out.
We're on good terms but I'm still sad about the end of our relationship even though I'm sure we've made the right decision. I know I need to give myself time to find my feet as a single person but I'm absolutely craving some affection - not necessarily sex (although it would be nice) but just a hug, a kiss etc.
But I'm not ready for another relationship (be a bit disrespectful this soon anyway) and I don't think I'm in the best place for a ONS even if I could get one. Friends have suggested online dating but again it feels too soon plus I'm not sure I could handle rejection or lack of interest at the moment.
I am so lonely and desperate for a bit of physical contact, it's embarrassing how much I want to be with someone. Really don't know what to do. I don't want to get hurt or make a bad situation worse but I just want that connection with someone so much :(.
