How important is intimacy (to you) in a relationship?

I find, for me, that I can be with my S/O, hanging out (at home), or being out and about with friends/family, and I miss her. She feels the same way. I know that it seems odd. I need that physical and emotional intimacy with her. Our connection is so unbelievably strong (and the sex is wonderful) when we’re able to be close.

Do you find that you need that, as well? That you can miss the person, even if they’re physically near, if you aren’t able to be close (emotionally and physically speaking)?
