I'm going to comment on my own post, despite it being against the rules of propriety.

The last time I hugged the person I still want to hug the most was in 2010. Before she died.

It's not that I keep a torch lit for her, but that I want to tell her all the amazing things her kids are doing. And give her a hug.

That’s rough buddy

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

A few minutes ago maybe. She's still asleep next to me.

I last hugged my parents years ago. One died in 2019 and the other passed away recently. I feel aimlessly empty thinking of all the missed opportunities and the fact I am like a bird without a warm perch now.

Hugged my wife like 10 minutes ago when she was waking up.

Keep a hold of that, and her.

Let her out occasionally for food and bathroom breaks.

Been almost a month, but I'll see her tomorrow night!

She's my ex, and we're still absolutely in love with each other and best friends to boot, we just have incompatibilities that make us impossible as a couple. I see her about once a month on average now. She moved 2 hours away.

You're not the only one whose bestie is their ex. Our entire relationship made a ton more sense when we started adding "bro" to the end of our "I love you"s.

Sounds... Unexpectedly wholesome...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Over 4 years ago :(

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Yesterday, but I'll do it again as soon as she wakes up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Yesterday. My mom came to visit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Maybe 10 minutes ago.

This morning :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Last night.

It seems this person never existed, or died without telling me beforehand. Nobody's special.
