Being lonely is not same as being alone-it's a feeling where you want to be connected to someone but that imaginary person is not around.
Their unavailability could either be inspired by the fact the person is physically or emotionally unavailable.
Here are signs that you are in a lonely relationship:
1. Your partner has a problem being affectionate with you
It always feels great to arrive home after a long day and receive a warm welcome from your significant other.
Cuddling, smooching and relaxing in your partner's arms while watching a romantic movie strengthens your bond.
If you feel like your partner is reluctant to hug, kiss or get intimate with you, it's no surprise that you'll start to feel lonely.
2. You feel like your partner is judging you
In every relationship, each partner must be supportive and honest. One must feel safe and comfortable in order to open up to the other person without receiving being criticised.
If your partner is judgemental, his attitude towards you is preventing you from sharing your thoughts and ideas with him, then, you are on your own.
3. Your partner shuts you down during arguments
It's normal for couples to argue and rekindle their relationship with a hot, steamy sex session.
Constant communication is important in every relationship; every couple must talk it out whenever there is a misunderstanding and reach a point where they forgive each other and forget.
4. You ain't being your true self with him
Hiding your true self from your partner means you are living a fake life around him and that will make you lonely. Being yourself makes you happy and you begin appreciating the little things others do for you.
You will value the things he does for you as well. If you are acting up just for him to accept you then, you probably shouldn't have been with him in the first place.
5. You are protecting yourself from the hurt of the previous relationship
It's over and you have to move on. Start your new relationship on a clean slate and enjoy to the fullest all the benefits that come with it.
If you previously had a bad relationship experience, it's almost true that you will be overprotective and change your character.
You may feel like you can't be real with your partner even though he's done nothing to make you feel that way.
