Redditer: Does anyone else miss being wanted more than they miss sex?

Does anyone else miss being wanted more than they miss sex?​

I used to think what I was missing was sex.
The older I’ve gotten, the more I realize it wasn’t really about that.
I miss someone being excited to hear from me. Someone asking how my day went because they actually wanted to know. That little rush when your phone lights up and you already know who’s texting.
I miss flirting that isn’t forced. Feeling seen. Feeling chosen.
It’s strange how you can share a home, a bed, and years of history with someone, yet still feel completely invisible.
I never imagined this is where I’d end up. From the outside, life looks perfectly normal. Stable job, responsibilities, routines… but emotionally, it can feel incredibly lonely.
I’m curious if anyone else has realized the affair itself wasn’t the goal. It was the feeling of being alive again—the conversations, the anticipation, the connection.
What do you miss the most?

I hate people calling me. Want to meet, go to the pub. Otherwise don't call
