Have you ever been in a relationship where you felt lonelier than when you were single? Like you’re physically with someone, yet emotionally, you’re miles apart, longing for a deeper connection. If so, you’re not alone. Studies show that one in four people in long-term relationships report feeling lonely – even when they’re with someone they claim to love.
Relationships aren’t always the ‘happily ever after’ we’re promised. But solitude for most people doesn’t seem to provide a palatable alternative.
So what’s worse: Choosing solitude, or staying stuck in something that drains you? And, why are we so afraid of being alone in the first place?
