I've gone years, but mine was kind of a weird situation. I found a way to adjust, and actually in some ways enjoyed the freedom it gave me to do what I wanted otherwise, when I wanted to do it, so it wasn't all bad. But in a relationship, yes, I prefer a lot more closeness than that, generally. My advice is to go out with friends, or spend a lot of time developing a new hobby - or seriously look for someone to hook up with, even if it's for a little while, if you are seriously loney. I love other people, but I've never had that much of a problem with solitude, and sometimes even impose it on myself, just for some peace of mind. Plus, I love to read, and that's a fairly solitary activity (but I have other hobbies, and do volunteer stuff, that requires being around people, too). I once had a past-life regressionist tell me that in 11 of my 13 supposed "past lives", I'd been either a nun, or a monk, so maybe that is the reason I don't mind so much, sometimes?...Good luck with your situation. - Susan
