Many of us assume we have to be alone to be lonely, but that’s not the case. In fact, research has shown that even those who are married have reported feelings of loneliness. But what exactly does it mean when you’re feeling lonely in a relationship, and does that mean you should call it quits? Not necessarily, say happiness expert Andrea F. Polard, Psy.D., and Alysha Jeney, a millennial relationship therapist. Jeney says that loneliness is a state of being, and it’s not just boredom—it’s an inability to connect. Meet the Expert Alysha Jeney is a millennial relationship therapist and owner of Denver-based Modern Love Counseling. She is also a cofounder and relationship expert at Modern Love Box. Andrea F. Polard, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist and specialist in Zen psychology and therapy. She is the author of A Unified Theory of Happiness.

Why We Feel Lonely in a Relationship

“People are lonely in relationships or in social groups because they can’t be themselves with the people and environment that they surround themselves with every day,” says Jeney. “Loneliness is emotional and mental isolation.” Some signs to look out for include feeling unable to be yourself with your partner, lacking genuine intimacy, and hiding your true feelings and likes. This state can stem from many different things, including depression, grief, and anxiety. Jeney says that every relationship is different, but if you’re feeling lonely, it can be one of two things. The first is that you may be with the wrong person, even if you may match well on paper. Because of this, you may have been unable to let your partner connect with the authentic you, so you have nothing in common or don’t even have similar values or needs. The second situation is that you are actually with the “right” person, but have been too afraid to let them in. “You may be experiencing isolation because you haven’t taken risks at being vulnerable and shown them the real you, so you aren’t connecting deeply,” she says. The positive news is that if your relationship falls into the latter group, there are actually ways you can combat these feelings. With the help of Jeney and Polard, we rounded up six ways to stop feeling alone in a relationship.

Women say it to feel better about lousy boyfriends, tragic breakups, and guys who never reply to their text messages: “There are plenty of fish in the sea.” Unfortunately, some women recite that mantra even when they’re in a great relationship. “Traditionally, women have felt that guys were the ones not willing to commit. But now, more and more women are trying to keep their options open. They are hedging their bets,” says relationship therapist Megan Fleming, Ph.D., clinical instructor of psychology at Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University. Is your girlfriend (or, wait, is she not up for making it official yet?) stringing you along? It’s hard to tell. “In the initial phases of love and lust, it’s easy to get blinded by surging hormones and ignore critical signs that indicate—well, she’s just not into you,” says Paul Hokemeyer, Ph.D., a Manhattan-based marriage therapist. So, to make things easier, check out these top nine signs that she’s anything but all in.
