Lonely in togetherness
Many people long very much for a relationship. No wonder because the search for a suitable partner is in our nature. We want to share life with a loved one. Many single people are looking for a partner to experience love and no longer be lonely. But even in many relationships, people feel lonely. Sometimes even more than single people. Instead of commonality, couples lead two separate lives.
We have nothing more to say to each other
Loneliness in a partnership can have different manifestations. Maybe a partner lives somewhere else or travels a lot. Both are often alone and have a weekend relationship. But usually there are other reasons to feel lonely in the relationship. Even if you live with your partner and share the bed. Loneliness often creeps in very slowly. Many are hardly aware of it at first. This raises the question: Do we really deal intensively with our partner when we are together every day?
- Isn't it easier to end a busy day in front of the TV?
- Do we spend valuable time on electronics instead of as a couple?
- Are we only talking about everyday life and neglecting in-depth conversations?
- Do we know what occupies, pleases, burdens and moves our partner in everyday life?
- Do we do things together out of social obligations?
- Do we take time for tenderness?
IIf all this is not the case, we only live next to each other. After all, we feel lonely even in the presence of our partner. They have somehow become alien to us.
Communication is the be-all and end-all in a relationship
If we feel lonely in the partnership and seem to have nothing more to say to the other, the mood turns negative. For many, this is a reason to separate. But the question is: Do you really no longer have any common topics or do both just not take time for it? The participation in the life of the partner, the honest communication with each other is the be-all and end-all of a harmonious and functioning relationship. Professional partnership counseling helps to return to consciousness and reorientation towards togetherness.

- What do I like about my partner?
