There are silences in a relationship, gestures that disappear, and an emptiness that gradually takes hold. We adapt, we rationalize… but deep down, a question remains: how long can we live without this profound connection with the other person? Not just physical contact, but this connection that makes the heart beat a little faster. Can this need for emotional closeness, however subtle, truly disappear? Or does it leave invisible traces over time?
We can live without it, but it’s difficult to thrive.
A woman can certainly thrive in life without physical or emotional connection for a few months, or even a year or two . But be careful: “moving forward” doesn’t necessarily mean “flourishing.” The need to feel close to someone, in every sense of the word, often contributes to an overall sense of well-being. Without this human warmth, one can function… but with a missing spark.
