Though he misses physical intimacy, he misses emotional connection the most.
He confessed he misses my random innocent cries.( I used to cry when I used to miss him ).
He misses a partner in me who added self esteem in his life, who made him love himself.
He said he never had to care about impressing me as I loved him as he was (he had complex because he has wheatish skin tone ) and his body was very comfortable around me.
He could bare his soul and knew I would never judge him. I was there in his worst phase of life.
We struggled together and still were together.
I became heartless after he married someone else. His father used to say he will suicide if he marries me. So we gave up.
For a man , even though physical intimacy matters a lot , but emotional connection matters too.
Specially when a man has a woman who adds self esteem, self confidence in his life, he can never forget that woman.
