I like your answer. I feel like I can relate to it. I was in a disfunctional marriage and I can remember barely seeing my spouse and then laying next to one another in bed at night and feeling so lonely most of the time. It's very strange to feel so lonely with another person, but that's how it was.
It is strange. You're not supposed to feel lonely when you're living with and laying next to someone. I think it's a sure sign of a doomed relationship.
Yeah, I think it's a red flag that the connection is gone. I would just lay there wanting my spouse to turn towards me and just acknowledge that I was there. Try a little, you know? After so many years together some people take each other for granted. I'm sure my spouse felt the same way at times. It's just a learning experience I think? I know now that it's so important to take time to remind your husband or wife that you are thankful for them. I hope to carry that with me into my next relationship.
Lonely? How can I be lonely when I'm with my best buds - Me and Myself. In face, I've been hanging out with 'Myself' all day. 'I' even cooked dinner for 'Myself'. I don't know what with 'Me' tomorrow though, as 'I' want to spend the day with just 'Myself'.
