Why do I feel so alone in my relationship?

ou may feel lonely with your partner if your heart is closed because you are protecting yourself from hurt with your anger or withdrawal. You cannot connect when you are closed and protected. You may feel lonely with your partner when your partner is closed and angry, or withdrawn and uncommunicative. You will feel lonely if your partner deliberately shuts you out with work, TV, food, alcohol, hobbies, the Internet and so on. You may feel lonely when you are trying to have control over your partner’s feelings by giving yourself up. Being inauthentic in order to control how your partner feels about you does not lead to authentic connection. You may feel lonely with your partner when one or both of you are closed to learning when a conflict arises. The unwillingness to have open communication about important issues creates walls between you. You may feel lonely if you or your partner use your sexual relationship as a form of control. You will feel lonely if you or your partner stays up in your mind rather than being together with open hearts. Intellectualization can be interesting at times, but after a while it can feel flat and lonely. You may feel lonely if your partner judges you regarding your thoughts, feelings, looks or actions. Judgment creates disconnection, and disconnection can be very lonely. You may feel lonely when you or your partner can’t connect due to being overly tired, frazzled and overwhelmed, or ill.

probably because you are not getting enough attention like you deserve

a lot of reasons why I feel alone in my relationship is due to the lack of understanding or empathy that we have for each other. We're so quick to judge sometimes, yet we don't have the patients to sit and actually listen to what the other person wants.

I feel alone because I feel as if my actions and feelings are not reciprocated by my boyfriend. I feel like he's my one and only, but I'm just another girl for him to date.

Sometimes, when two people are in a relationship for a certain amount of time, everything becomes normal, you lose that connection between you guys, you feel that the relationship you used to have isn't there no more and that you alone are in this relationship.

He doesn't fulfill your needs. You want something from him and he doesn't give you what you want, and I'm not talking about material stuff. I think you should talk to him and tell him what you need and ask him if he can do that.

Hi! I think, you feel alone in your relationship because: (1) Your partner might not be understanding you enough or just letting you deal with your problems by yourself; (2) Your partner isn't giving you enough attention or concern; (3) Both of you haven't established a strong connection with each other; (4) He/she isn't there for you; you are the only one fighting and making a move in your relationship. That's all based on my experiences. Hehe

Relationships are not a cure for loneliness. This is one of the big deceptions. Expect to feel lonely from time to time... Even when you are surrounded by others.... Even when you are in a relationship... Even when you love others and they love you. Loneliness is a natural and normal part of the human experience. It may not always feel like it, but loneliness is a great teacher. Spending some introspective time with yourself and your thoughts can give you great insights about life and who you really are. Loneliness reminds of what we truly desire, and creates longings that drive us out of our comfort zone into new experiences. The answer is not always to run and hide from loneliness or to rush to fill it with brain-numbing activities and distractions or a new relationship. Face your feelings of loneliness. Ask 'what is my loneliness trying to teach me?' Ask 'what do I bring to this relationship'? and 'What does this relationship bring to me?'. If the bad outweighs the good, it may be time to cut ties and set him or her loose, but know that no relationship will ever take away your loneliness entirely. No single person will ever completely meet all your needs. But, if you find a good person, you can support each other, learn from each other, and enjoy the ride together. Good luck :)

Maybe because your partner is not around you always and you long for his/her company. Give your partner some space and try not to latch on to the person always. Remember, you cannot impose yourself on your partner. A relationship has to work out on mutual understanding.

In every relationship we can feel alone. We can feel that the other person doesn't care for us. Maybe their actions make us feel alone. I think that there should be done some talking about it.
