Is it normal?

Question

Is it normal to often feel lonely, even when you are married?

Answer 1

sure it is normal just because a person is married doesnt keep you from being lonely not all or most marriages are perfect that is why we need to find other things to fill our lives and make us happy with or without a partner and marriage doesnt always make you happy and that is a empty and lonely feeling when you marry someone and then you find out that they are not the right person and by the way im from ponca city oklahoma and live in nc now so honey if you are lonely and not happy in your marriage life is to short so it might be best to get out of it and find things to do that make you where you are not lonely good luck

Answer 2

Often? Normal? No, I don't think anyone should accept the feeling of often being lonely as normal when you're supposed to be in a committed relationship that is presumably based on true love. If you're married and you feel lonely as much as you don't then my opinion is there's a lack of commitment somewhere on someones part or else someone wouldn't be feeling so lonely all the time.

Answer 3

It probably is normal, but I don't think that it is healthy. Unless your husband is away on business a lot, or fighting the war in Iraq, then I would say that he is home a normal amount of time, and then your wouldn't be feeling lonesome all the time. However, we can't and shouldn't depend on our spouses to be our only companionship, so we need to keep in contact with friends and make time for them regularly. You could even get a dog, if you feel that you need something to help keep you busy. Maybe you should seek some professional help, then you could dwell deeper into your concerns of being lonely. Best wishes to you.

Answer 4

You know that old saying -something about "being lonely in a crowd" - it can happen that you are in the middle of a big family, and still feel so isolated that it's upsetting! This is to do with whether or not you are connecting with the people around you. This comes down to the basics of communication. Another point is to take the time to initiate being in touch with your folk - sometimes this gets taken for granted.
The way to undo loneliness is to initiate a flow of communication with your married partner and those who are in your immediate family. Any broken feelings can be handled this way.
Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes this is normal at times... Do what you can to feel not so lonely though in the marriage.... Do new and exciting things with your spouse in and out of bed. Go on dates and make your marriage a great and exciting one! Make your spouse the center of your life!

Answer 6

Yes.

It's normal even moreso when you are married.

Before we are married most of us have a hand full of close friends we hang out with all the time.

Once we are married we are expected to give that companionship up for the most part and be *happy* in the company of one solitary person.

Reconnect with your old friends. You will find it helps a lot.

Answer 7

Yeah it can be normal, but as long as it's not every single day then it would be a bad thing. If the problem keeps bothering you and coming up talk to your spouse about it and possibly you two should then seek professional help.

Answer 8

No, married life should fullfill your emotional needs not just often but in every day of your life, this means that you are not really happy to your life now, try to do something that will fullfill your needs with your spouse, enjoy each other company.

Answer 9

I can feel lonely in a crowded room ---- it's normal to experience loneliness --- if it's a daily thing then you should talk to someone about that --- try a counselor/therapist

Answer 10

Sometimes a feeling of loneliness is ok and it is normal.
Talk to your spouse and express you feelings and try to understand why. You may need to see your Doctor also
and make sure there are no medical problems.
