It is important to communicate with the other person about how you feel and work together to come up with a way of spending more time together and also coming up with a plan to put in the effort in the relationship. However, I also feel that learning to enjoy your own accompany is a blessing. You will discover who you are and it helps you have a good relationship with yourself which is the most important relationship. Self love is very important and sometimes when you embrace loneliness by learning to have fun with yourself, magic happens. So make sure you enjoy the time you spend on yourself.

Well. I guess it would all depend on what your significant other does to make you feel alone. Sometimes, it could be because he is ignoring you, neglecting your feeling and opinions.. or because you feel like you are putting in all the work. In my past, I felt alone with an ex. He was a great guy, but not a fantastic boyfriend. He'd often run off and hang out with his buddies, and left me alone. I often kept the relationship afloat while he didn't see anything wrong. We were 2 different people and we gave it our best shot. I hope all gets better with you two though!

There could be many reasons for feeling alone. It's a legitimate feeling that there's no reason to be ashamed of.
I think that some people who feel alone in their relationship are lonely also without it. Unfortunately relationships cannot solve all of our problems, and they also don't have to. People aren't there to satisfy our desires our to heal our wounds; that we must do ourselves (of course we can use their help).
It is important to understand where those feelings come from, because they may just as well stem from us and not only from our SO's behaviour (although that possibility isn't necessarily excluded).
Once we better understand ourselves we can think of a good way out, each individual with his unique solutions.

Maybe the other person is not putting as much effort as you are! And you know what? There's a huge chance that they don't even know! In my experience it is better to talk this with your partner, tell them how you feel and, most importantly, look up for yourself, it happens a lot in relationships that one side puts more effort than the other, not because the other person doesn't care but because not everyone shows love the same way, if you want to be loved a certain way the best thing you can do is to say it! Always remember you are an individual, nobody makes you whole but yourself, as always have an awesome day/week/year/life! :)

If it is a one sided relationship you feel alone make sure that both of you love, respect and care for each other equally (neither high or low).
If the other partner doesn't give you time due to their busy schedules also you may feel alone and develop such thoughts, always try to understand each other and support for and plan out some time together. You will also feel alone when you are very caring and expect a lot from opposite person.
Always keep less expectation and avoid over caring and overthinking in relationships.
No matter what how much one feel they are alonely take some time sit personally and Express each others feelings by keeping egos and anger a side.

There are many people who feel lonely in their relationships, some are aware of that, others are unfortunately not.
There are two perspectives to this feeling.
1. You and your partner are simply not resonating on a same level of thinking and emotional feeling,two parties thinking differently and also defending their own views.
2. Feeling lonely is a general issue overall with humans, sometiems it doesent matter if its from the partner or a friend or whoever, sometimes we need to understand that loneliness isn't cured from the outside, externally via finding the right person or friend and etc etc.. Sometimes it comes to the conclusion that we have to look inwardly into ourselfs on why EXACTLY we feel lonely.
Because there are also people who can be extremely happy when they are also alone.
There are again many other aspects revolving loneliness, these two are of those.

Sometimes it can feel as if a relationship is one sided. That one person is trying so much harder than the other, trust me I’ve dealt that. Sometimes you get that idea too and it just builds up even if it is not true. Sometimes it is best just to talk to your significant other or friend in the relationship and tell them how you feel. Make sure you have a good conversation, a good two sided conversation. Let them know how you feel, if they don’t understand, maybe it is not meant to be. Just remember that communication is key.

Relationships are about give and take and when the other half doesn’t put in to the relationship as much as they are receiving then it can often feel lonely. If there is no communication or your feelings are going unnoticed then it can also leave a void. If your partner is constantly “too busy†and doesn’t reciprocate your feelings or treat you like you should be treated then it can make you feel empty or invisible. If you share your feelings and thoughts with your partner and they don’t acknowledge your concerns then it might be a one sided relationship which would feel very lonely

I am really sorry you feel this way, but I want you to know this is not uncommon. Perhaps, your partner is not empathetic to your needs and you are not able to communicate emotionally at some level. I hope you can work through this together and if needed take needed help. 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.

Perhaps you need to express your feelings with your partner in order to ensure that there is transparency. Maybe you can do things together- simple inexpensive tasks like going for a walk, cooking dinner, or watching a tv show together. You may feel alone if you are stressed or overwhelmed with other elements in your life and have felt unable to share it with others. Remember, people are open, reachable, and accessible! Feel comfortable sharing your opinions in a gentle manner and trust that what you are feeling is completely acceptable. Lonliness can often be caused by our own insecurities and self doubts. It is important to be confident with yourself! You can do it! We believe in you!
