Being lonely is not just an emotion reserved for those who are single or alone. Loneliness is a complex feeling, when someone says they feel ‘lonely’ in a relationship, it can mean a variety of things. It can leave us not knowing how to make things better, should we try to talk to our partner? Or will whatever is causing this sense of loneliness make it difficult? Apart from leaving us feeling isolated, loneliness can also make us feel helpless.
It might also mean that you feel unheard or unloved. It may be you are feeling disconnected from your partner, like you are not as close as you used to be. Or it could be you are feeling confused about something, you are trying to resolve a problem, but feel unable to talk
