Even if you are in a relationship, do you sometimes feel so alone?

I do, despite being married. Sometimes I just feel unheard, misunderstood, unsupported, and down in the dumps. I don't know if it is me having a bad day though or if it is genuinely that way.
What about you?

I never felt more alone than I did in my marriage.
I've felt alone in the past. But I realized I was being too dependent, and thinking that love meant I always felt good. I came to the conclusion I would only be happy and fulfilled if I worked on establishing my own happiness and purpose in life. Now I love the person that I am and can appreciate that love can't satisfy me completely if I'm not feeling good about myself as a person.

@NineLives: I get this way, too, and realized what PS said was true for me. But I always tell DH how I'm feeling, sometimes he can help and sometimes it's just me. --DW
Oh yes, I often feel alone, and I have been married a long time. I do not think that feeling can every be totally erased because--let's face it--we are alone in this world. The best you can hope for is that by having company to share your life, you are less alone than you would otherwise be.

I feel very lonely sometimes; at other times I feel a warm connection with my partner and other people. It has more to do with my own mood than with what they're doing, most of the time. I do think loneliness is part of the human condition, at least until we really get telepathy working.

Oh and would you like a hug? 🤗

I think you described a long term relationship very well. Like anything relationships can become stale or stagnant. There has to be something brought in to revitalize them. For some it can be a trip together. There needs to be constructive communication. Without that it will continue to falter.

Sure, I'm sure everyone does in a way, Maybe it's just me as I get very down and hard on myself but my wife and I work different shifts so that gets to me once in awhile

Currently, no. I have a great, close relationship with my S.O. However, in the past I have had the experience you are describing and it feels awful. Have you tried marriage counseling?
Every day :) but he tries to act like he at least likes me These days. I think he's even sincere now. But I hate to say that too loudly.

No, why would I leave my marriage of 17 years because of a hiccup?
