Let me tell you something nobody wants to say out loud. You aren't losing your mind and you aren't asking for too much. Most women I talk to are asking the same question: Why Do I Feel Lonely in my Relationship? They ask it while sitting across the table from a man who is physically there but emotionally gone. They ask it while lying in a bed shared with someone who feels like a stranger.
It’s a specific kind of ache that starts in your gut and works its way up. It’s the realization that you are doing the work of two people just to keep one connection alive. You’ve been pouring from an empty cup into a bucket with a hole in the bottom. A loyal woman's love is a powerful thing, but it was never meant to be a oneway street where you do all the giving and he does all the taking.
You’re tired because you’ve been carrying the weight of his silence. You’ve been trying to translate his distance into something that makes sense so you don’t have to admit the truth. You aren't lonely because you're "unhappy." You're lonely because he has left you to navigate the relationship all by yourself.

You kept telling yourself that if you just found the right words or the right tone, he would finally see you. You thought if you adjusted your expectations, the gap between you would close.
