Lonely in a Relationship
Loneliness comes from being alone, not from being
single. As a matter of fact, people in
relationships experience loneliness as often as
anyone else. The very definition of this word
according to Webster's dictionary is, "cut off from
others, sad from being alone, a feeling of
desolateness."
Loneliness is a powerful human emotion that is
built into us for a reason-people are meant to be
together. Without this emotion, what would propel
people to maintain friendships, family, and
intimate relationships? Not much.
Loneliness can also signal a time of change in
your life-in and/or outside your relationship or
within yourself and your life. It may indicate that
your emotional needs are not being met by the
people in your life, therefore, it's time for you
to expand your pool of friends.
Keep a chart of when you feel you're most
lonely. Common times are evenings and weekends.
Make a pact with yourself to get out o the house
during those ties. Go to public places where people
congregate: parks, church, libraries, bookstores,
shopping areas. Join organizations or volunteer.
There are so many things you can do to feel needed
and to be needed. It's up to you to take the first
step and make it happen.
