An interesting thing happened though when I read your comment just now. Rather than feeling sad about it, I felt pleased that that is so.

It's because small, nonverbal, tangible expressions of care are such an important part of a relationship–ordinary garden-variety things like doing the dishes, or taking care of each other when sick.

These things disappear in separation… all that is left is feeling, and feeling by itself is thin and ghostly.
