10 years married… yet I’ve never felt so alone. Are you out there, friend?
It’s been 10 years since we got married. I truly believed I had married my soulmate. Yet today I feel like the loneliest person within these four walls.
He’s in the house as I write this, but somehow we’re miles apart. We barely talk. Even roommates usually say hello to each other.
The hardest part is that I still love him. I still miss his warmth, his affection, and feeling wanted.
Maybe that’s just a very human thing—to long for connection.
People often say, “Just leave,” or “Start dating again.” But life isn’t a light switch. There is a journey between where I am today and wherever life takes me next.
For this journey I could use support of a friend. A friend who is on the similar path. A friend who is also lonely in their relationship. I friend who is similar age and life experience as me. A friend who has similar values as me. A friend whose upbringing was as dysfunctional as mine lol.
Are you out there?
