Is it normal to be so attached to a bear?

I have a teddy bear since I was in the hospital for cancer surgery. I know it may be a personification of everything I've been through, and know he can't "die" helps with my fear of my Mother/best friend dying. I'm married and sleep with the bear still. My husband shows NO affection what so ever. NOT exaggerating. I rely on this teddy for cuddles and warmth. Nothing gross, but very child-like.

    I'm a married woman, and I sleep with my teddy bear from my childhood. I'm an insomniac, and the familiarity and comforting texture helps. It doesn't matter if people think it's childish. If they don't like it, then they don't have to hang out in your bedroom. Do what works for you.

    No affection? :( I know that isn't the point of this post but it just struck me as really sad. I can never get enough sometimes and without ANY... I would not survive in any relationship like that for very long.
