Maybe you feel so alone because you're not getting the attention that you want or the connection is as strong.

You feel alone in your relationship because you're not spending enough time with your significant other, as LoveForAllOfYou said. You also may not feel as close to your significant other as you previously felt. Ask yourself if anything has happened recently that may be causing you to feel this way. For example, have you argued or had any disagreements with them? This tends to make people feel like they are growing apart from their partners at times, and can make them feel alone even though they are in a relationship. -Sarah

As said by WinterFlute, "A relationship has to work out on mutual understanding". Which means both should understand each other, not only the physical needs but also the mental states, and try to give comfort to each other. A relationship blossoms only when we connect at soul level, like we used to play with our friends in childhood. So what to do now, when its not working out? One way is to talk out your feelings to your partner. An understanding partner will never allow same situation to happen. The core of any relationship is emotional support and emotional joy. If at first it does not work, talking again and again might change things for better. Otherwise the second step is to look for another partner, who can truly support you, at least emotionally. However this step is a gamble, you may win or loose. If you don't resonate with the 2 above, you may choose to live alone. Practice meditation and read spiritual stuffs. It greately increases self-confidence in you. Overtime you will find that you don't need to depend on people too much. Plus you can always go for movies, or favorite music to kill loneliness feelings. Actually it just requires to shift your focus from something undesireable (i.e. loneliness), to something you enjoy. You just need to train your mind for this. Also you can always have a chat with someone on 7cups if you are feeling lonely. Its a great way to share your feelings, and get any help not mentioned here.

You feel alone because communication, transparency and trust are missing. You maybe feel alone because your partner is not giving you enough time or maybe you are not sharing your thoughts with him or her. It is a matter of open communication with your partner in order for you to feel secured and despite of challenges you still feel like you are not alone for the battle.

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.

More likely than not, it's because you've disconnected from each other in a significant way; you're together but leading separate lives. Make every effort to reconnect and don't let anything or anyone stand in your way.

The worse feeling is feeling alone, even when your significant other is present. If they're not paying attention to you, showing the care and love you need.. You can feel alone. Try talking about it to them.

You 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.

Sometimes one person puts their all into a relationship while the other gives almost nothing. A relationship is a team effort and it can't be done all by yourself. If you think that you're the main contributor to your relationship, it might be time to think about your happiness and whether or not your partner is giving as much energy to you as you are to them.

Sometimes when we're having a relationship with someone who's different from us and/or who has different ideas, and this thoughts might make us feel alone in our relationships. But we should remember that not everyone is the same and we should show some empathy to the other person. Sometimes empathy is the only way for us to accept others ideas and it enables us to think the way they do.
