Is It Normal to Feel Lonely in a Relationship?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been in a relationship for a while now, and on paper, everything looks fine. My partner is kind and loyal, but lately I’ve been feeling... lonely. It’s like we’re sharing space, but not really connecting.

I’ve tried to bring it up gently, but I think they just don’t really get what I mean. I’m not even sure I understand it fully myself. It’s not that I want to leave, I just miss feeling truly seen and emotionally supported.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal to feel this way even when nothing’s technically “wrong”?
