Feeling lonely and alone in your marriage is the ultimate misery of your relationship.
“I feel lonely in my relationship. And it is literally killing me” the chocked voice of Anita, my friend bewildered me.
Anita was married to a very affluent businessman. She was envied by many for her wealth. I too thought she was very happy and content in her relationship. Naturally I was shocked when Anita confided about loneliness in her marriage.
“You have your children who adore you. And your husband is a kind man. How can you feel lonely and alone in your marriage?” I asked her with confusion.
“Yes, my children love me. My husband is very responsible and successful. But inspite of it, I feel empty in my married life” my friend said with uncontrollable unhappiness.
‘Why do you say so?’ I asked Anita worryingly.
“Well, my children are busy with their own work. They have no time for me. My husband is also too busy with his business schedules. Sometimes I do nott see him for months” Anita continued with sadness enveloping her face.
Now I began to get the picture of her married life. Very lonely indeed.
“I feel like a robot doing my work mechanically. I have no one to share my inner feelings. My interaction with my husband is almost always matter of fact. There is no love in his words. How can I feel sheltered when all through my married life I spent my time all alone? The loneliness I feel is terrifying” Anita shuddered with unhappiness.
My friend was right.
