Why do I feel so alone in my relationship?

I have struggled with feeling lonely in my relationship partly because of my partner and I having different schedules and with my depression, even when we are together I may feel lonely. Sometimes it feels unavoidable but I find that talking it through has really helped. I trust my partner and I know he would never want me to feel lonely. That feeling helps me get through those difficult times.

Maybe you feel like you aren't heard by your partner. Try and talk to you partner and let them know how you're feeling. The point of being in a relationship is to have someone there to look out for you, not to give you additional stress.

It's possible that you aren't spending enough time with your partner in your relationship. Also, it's possible that they're distancing themselves from you, whether it be because they're scared or confused about they're emotions or they like you but maybe not in that way anymore.

Feeling alone in a relationship can be determined in many ways. It could be that you are shutting yourself out from your partner because you are protecting yourself from getting hurt. You feel lonely at a time when you or your partner is angry, mad or withdrawn. Or, you feel lonely because you are trying to control the feelings of your partner and he/she would rather reject you.

Maybe the other doesn't see that you are hurting and thinks you are okay when really you are not so he or she doesn't think you are alone but you feel alone cause he or she doesn't ask if you are okay or how you are feeling that day.

It is possible that you aren't communicating with your partner. A lack of communication can be a lonely experience, as we feel we are not truly understood

Perhaps your partner isn't putting as much effort into the relationship as you want . Communication is very important.

If you feel alone in your relationship then your partner is probably not meeting your physical/emotional needs.

The only way to truly feel,alone is by not actively participating in your relationship! It takes work....a lot of work! Take time to connect daily...daily hugs, kisses, hand holding...conversations,listening to how the day went...and there are functional things as well.....kids schedules, bills run a household....and there family and friends connection to share experiences with others like a vacation...maybe Disney to see the mouse? a Movie?? A concert.? A card game? GO hiking? See an iceberg? Watch your favourite sitcom on tv? All those moments large and small make up a life,,,and build connectedness to others,,,,,take time to connect....what did you do today to connect to your family? What will you do tomorrow...make plans..enjoy!

Being single can feel lonely, but being in a relationship can feel lonely, too. If you’re in a relationship but still feel like you’re on your own emotionally, the fact that you have a partner is not much of a consolation. In fact, when you are together with your partner, you might even feel more alone because you’re with the very person who should be providing the closeness you need. You might be tempted to ignore the problem, hoping it will resolve itself, but this isn’t a good idea. You’ll likely just continue to feel lonely, and your relationship will get worse. So instead, consider your options to improve the situation, and then take action.
