I don't think it's adolescent to want those things LN. And I understand your feelings...I have felt the same way at times during my M, and I realize now more than ever that I really need those things too. I find that I am pretty easy going and tolerant up to a certain point and then I need some affection and quality time to keep me going. I wouldn't say I have that mushy/google-eyed feeling about my H anymore, but I do like to be with him and have fun together. So do you feel you clearly communicated your feelings to her?

Yes, it is related to sex, but it's more than that. I told her I need to hear her say she misses me, she wants me, she wants to touch me, she wants me sitting on the couch watching her favorite TV show with her, that she feels something special when she thinks of me.
You know what you want from her (these are nice specific things to ask for)...what kinds of things are you doing for her? In my experience, sometimes feelings follow actions. This is complicated by your separation, but you mention that you have felt the way you want at times during the sep. What circumstances brought those feelings about? What did YOU do? What did she do?
