I am in my 20 year with my husband, but feel lonely all the time. I haven’t slept in my bedroom for almost 3 years now. I got tired of feeling rejected every night when I just wanted to be talked to or held. Nothing, night after night riped me apart. So I sleep on the couch downstairs with the dog. Not once has he asked me to come back to bed in 3 years. I find that so sad. I still love him, but feel our relationship is just roommates at this point. Its a difficult situation. You can be lonely in a marriage just as well as being single. Find what makes you happy and enjoy life the best you can. Married or not you are important and deserve to be happy. Don’t rely on someone else to make you happy. It willl never last long term.

Traumatic. Seldom a solution for either spouse. The effects of a marital break up are profound – feelings of loneliness, rejection and failure. When on the receiving end, it is a kind of indictment of one’s character, an overwhelming sense of abandonment and betrayal. I was on the receiving end.

You are a talented writer. You have a creative mind. You ought to write more.

I can really relate to a lot of it.
