I see what you mean....... Possible solutions....... Get a new pet. Realize being alone is not so bad. You do not have to deal with fights and complaining. Perhaps get a 5ft 2 inch pillow. Involve yourself with something that has a lot of physical contact like yoga, martialarts, khundalini, jk. Maybe cuddle with friends. Oh well, escort service is not a good idea, because when the fish is gone your hungary tomorrow. You are not alone..lots of people want affection as the cold sets in. Some people feel it even more towards holidays and v-day.
