ImJWL,

It seems that you are getting emotionally tied to this man since you have anxiety about him not keeping in contact with you. I caution about the dangers of jumping into a sexual relationship with “no strings attached.”  Women especially tend to get more emotionally involved with their sexual partners than with men.  It’s a biological fact.

With that said, it may be a good thing to have sex buddy to feel good about yourself as long as you know that this guy is not the person to go to as another life partner.  He is a Mr. Transition guy.

Watch Out For Being The “Transitional” Lover!

Of course, the common wisdom is to  learn to be back on your own again. Learn to love yourself, to have your own life and be OK to be by yourself without needing to have a partner to do things with, to validate you, and as a distraction.

It’s good that you have a therapist who can help you along in your emotional healing.
