I understand exactly what you’re going through. Here’s what I have found through my personal experience, and I hope it helps. Sometimes in a relationship the very reason we enter one is to feel loved and not alone, but that isn’t an immediate solution. Loneliness is often something we put onto ourselves, we block ourselves off emotionally from many people and say we are alone, when really if we just let our walls down we would see an ocean of people that are there for us. So often in life we enflict loneliness on ourselves because we don’t feel like we are able to be open. So even in a relationship we can feel very alone when all we need to do is knock down our walls. Which by no means is a simple task.

I think that is because you are not receiving the amount if love and attention you want to receive, it may help to first figure out what you feel is missing, maybe you don't cuddle as much as you use to in the beginning if the relationship, maybe you don't talk as much and maybe you make all the decisions in the relationship and maybe you don't, either way figuring out what is missing and what you want can help then once you have a clear idea what what it is, talking to your partner about it is the next step, having a nice talk expressing how you feel and trying to figure out a way to fix the issue is the best way to go about.. Or so I like to think

There are many reasons why you can feel alone in a relationship. From my experience a relationship is about controlling a balance. When you become attached to someone your world can become smaller, friends become more distant and you invest your time in one person and relying on one person for your sole happiness but one person cannot fulfill all your needs. There is still the person who was once young and capable inside who stills wishes and dreams for more. Remember who you were, rekindle friendships or make new ones, connect with them and family regularly. Include your partner but both have your own friendship circles. This will give you more to talk about with your partner or if you are feeling like you’re not quite as connected, respark the relationship. Find an activity you can do together, experience and laugh with each other. Being trapped in isolated thoughts causes doubts and makes you more distant from your partner. This is my experience anyway.

Often relationships can become one sided after a while. Maybe that is why you're feeling this way. Maybe your partner is not providing you the emotional or physical or sexual support that you need from your relationship. When this happens a part of you starts feeling empty. You might've tried talking to your partner and it might've not gone as expected that could've only made things worse. Try talking to your partner about it. If not consider counselling. This must also be because of the insecurities you're experiencing (if you're experiencing any) which may make you feel more in your head and less able to relate to others and eventually make you feel alone. Try talking to someone about it. Hope it works out for you ✌️

There could be many reasons for feeling alone despite having a partner. One of those reasons could be the lack of communication and therefore emotional connection as well. Perhaps you or your partner have stopped sharing things with one another, have stopped talking about your feelings and your relationship, which made you feel disconnected. Perhaps you changed, or your partner has, and you just want different things in life, or have different views on certain issues. This can often make one feel like they lack emotional support from their partner, which doesn’t have to be the case. Communicate your emotions to your partner and let them express their own feelings.

Relationships can be hard work, and sometimes it feels like the tough times will never end. If you are feeling alone in your relationship it is helpful to establish why. It could be that work hours mean not much time is spent together, it could be wildly different interests or it could be that somebody is struggling to put in the effort that goes into most relationships. A relationship requires work from both parties, figuring out what your partner enjoys and what their love language is can go a long way. Communication is equally important, if you are in a safe and loving partnership it is unhealthy to bottle up your feelings. If it is an issue of incompatibility, there is no shame in breaking up and moving on. Relationships shouldn't be a chore, and they should be draining.

Often, after being together for a while, people can feel like they’re alone. This tends to be caused by a work driven partner, or perhaps a partner with a hobby that they are constantly doing. Think about what it is that is making you feel alone, and speak with your partner, in a calm, mature manner. We can all feel a little alone sometimes, even if you’re surrounded by people all the time. The most important thing is not to worry, and know that there are always people available to listen to you and guide you to help you feel yourself again.

Maybe your partner isn’t giving you the love and appreciation you deserve. You should sit down with your partner and be honest about your feelings. If they truly love you they will be willing to change and you can work something out. If not, then it might be time to find someone else who wants to grow with you and start a healthy relationship. One sided relationships can be very emotionally draining for both you and your partner, and is just not healthy. It’s hard to leave someone you love, but if they’re not willing to grow with you then it’s time.

If you feel like you’re the one who’s doing all the work and putting the effort while your significant other isn’t then you should either confront your partner about it and tell him/her how you feel alone and how you’re feel like the relationship relies on you basically. And if your significant other doesn’t change his/her habits then you should probably end the relationship. a relationship is about you two both putting the same amount of high effort and you two working together in order to solve your problems. That’s my recommendation and I hope all goes well with you 🖤

Because you know your self worth and what you are deserving of. When you know what you deserve it is expected that you will want to feel loved and cherished in your relationship. If you’re in a relationship that isn’t open with communication it leaves a lot of feelings unsaid and mats unturned. The key to making any relationship work is to have an open line of communication, even if it’s to ask how was your day? How are you feeling? Can impact greatness in any relationship. The moment we start feeling alone it helps to immediately talk about it.
