Have you ever been in a relationship where you didnt get much attention from your gf or bf?

been in a marriage like that.

If I had a girlfriend like that it would be my fault!! If there is no attention or affection, why would I stay there??? Why not just end it????

definitely..

been there..won't do it again

I was married for 21 years to a closet lesbian. Tell me about it.

not so much that, but it felt like I was with a stranger because I never really knew the person, acted out a lot when she didn't get her way, always wanted everything to be perfect. She never let me get to know the real her.

Unfortunately I too know all too well how it feels to be all alone while in a relationship.

My last ex, I would try to give him a hug and he would just let his arms hang at his side and not hug me back. In bed, I would try to cuddle up next to him and lay my head on his chest/shoulder area with my arm around him and he actually physically pushed me away from him. He would come over to my house and visit me and I'd always have nice dinners prepared for him, ready. He actually admitted that he wouldn't even come over if it wasn't for my "delicious meals" and someone to talk to. But other then that, nothing was there. I was like okay, fine. If this is the way it's going to be, see ya!

You see, I'm a person who ABSOLUTELY loves to give and get affection and when that is missing out of a relationship and you feel like nothing is there and you're each pretty much living yourown life, seperate from each other, well I'd say it's time to fix it or break it. Don't leave it in that limbo stage.

But I am always most alone, when in a crowd!!

I've always been alone because I've never had a relationship. I'm 26, and I've yet to have a relationship. Sad, but true.

Sometimes I felt that way

Yeah, I was actually stuck in one of those relationships for 5 years when I was much younger. I got myself a boyfriend to keep my company during the days and used to go to evening classes at uni so managed to avoid the neglectful one I was living with most of the time. I also used to secretly stash money and make sure me and my son got away for some nice holidays. I had a far more entertaining life then than what I do now to be honest and much more money

to answer seriously?
Yes.
It's worse than not being in a relationship with someone.

jeez paws that must have been


Hi Zell

When I was married, I always felt alone no matter what. Then I met someone who was a truck driver he was gone all week, only home on the weekends, sometimes not in until lat Fri. Gone by Sun. Afternoon. I lived out in the country and when he was gone I was all alone, but I never spent one minute feeling lonely. No one ever understood including me, why with him gone so much I never felt lonely. The day I left him though I felt very alone. Now I sometimes feel alone even when I am out with my friends. I think I am pretty much learning what it is that makes me lonely like that.
Yesterday I was with a couple of my friends, the house was full of screaming kids, we were having fun just the same, but I felt kind of lonely, never could figure that out, til yesterday. In the middle of all the chaos I got a phone call, one I was kind of wanting. And as soon as I answerd the feeling went away. There was kind of the same thing happening o the other end, so we said we would talk later. as soon as I hung up the phone the feeling was back. I guess it's more o wating to be with one person so much that o matter how many people are around you tthey dont fill the void.

Hi Bren I'm relieved to see you've not been swallowed by a shark

Wow. Glad to see I'm not alone there. Just got out of a 9 month relationship with the most unaffectionate woman I've ever met.

You can be with someone day and night, almost, live with them and yet feel alone. Or, there can be someone you hardly ever get to spend time with, maybe because you live far away from each other or you are both very busy, but just knowing that person loves you, you don't feel alone. It is knowing you are loved that makes the difference.

Yes I was with a workaholic... being lonely in a relationship is far worse than being alone I reckon....

I had a marriage like that too for 7 years. Would never answer me when I would talk to him and when did was just to get sweared at. When he came home from work never knew he was there unless looked in the garage as would just go straight there to play around. Too many things would fill pages.
