Can You Be in a Relationship But Still Feel Alone? Yes, Yes, YES!

Feeling alone INSIDE a relationship can feel really, really bad. You'd think because you "have" someone that this means that you would feel understood and cared for, but so often that is not the case. And when you get to the point that you realize you feel bad as a PATTERN in the relationship, you often realize at the same time that you have felt lonely and alone for quite some time. 

So the key has to be to find a relationship that meets your emotional needs -- not just having someone there. It's all about finding a relationship that meets emotional needs.
