People who are single have their own issues. But a person who is in a couple relationship but is still lonely and alone in the relationship can be very susceptible to chronic depression...
Here are 5 signs your partner is lonely even when they live with you...
1. They crave your attention
Ruhina got married to Sahil.... But Sahil was always busy in his work or in his family engagements... He seldom had time for Ruhina... She was working too. She had a family too. But she really kept her relationship with Sahil and this marriage as her top priority. This naturally made her expect the same amount of care and love from her husband... But this never happened and Ruhina just kept craving for Sahil's attention, time and love... Living in the same home and still not having his care made her feel lonely, isolated... She did not know what to look forward to and how to fill the emptiness in her life...
When she came at IWIll, she was already suffering from depression...
2. They feel you will do nothing to wipe their tears...
Soumya was tired of her husband's family's behavior with her. They would make remarks on how she worked, her appearance, and even her gestures... All this happened around her husband and he never took a stand for her... She would cry her heart out but he would not take notice... Slowly she started seeing and feeling that her husband did not care for her tears, especially when it was his family on the other side... She kept drowning in the pain. She knew her husband would do nothing to ease her pain... She felt lonely like she had never felt... In her own home, she felt vulnerable... In her own home, she felt that she had no support...
3. They don't feel like they are your priority
For Arun Radhika came after everyone else... He would openly show his love for his sister, his mother, his old friends but he did not show his love for Radhika, his wife... If Radhika asked Arun to do something for her, he would always keep this as his last priority...Canceling plans of Radhika for other plans was a routine thing for Arun...
And with this Arun expected Radhika to be always there for him... He expected Radhika to serve his family and fulfill all her duties...Radhika was pained by this dual pressure...At one end, he was never there for her...His wife came last for him and at the other end, he expected her to keep him as a top priority... This imbalance started making her feel lonely, lesser of a being, humiliated, and empty... She had lost her parent's togetherness to be with ARUN...Her friends were not supposed to have the same time with her anymore... Everything for her had changed but nothing had changed for ARUN...
This broke her down. This made her lonely...
4. They cannot talk to you heart to heart
Shailja was all alone after her marriage. She only had her husband... But her husband was never interested in listening to his wife, what was happening in her life, her work, with her parents, her dreams, her insecurities... Ajay was only interested in his life... Shailja felt like there was no space for her life after marriage... She felt like she was choked... Moreover, if she did not like something about Ajay, she could not tell him this like any other wife... He would take offense at anything she said..... She started suffering from chronic loneliness, hopelessness, and eventually depression.
5. They feel like you ignore them or do not give your relationship its fair due...
Shubham loved Ria like he loved no one else...Ria loved him too but she cared for her work, her friends, her life more... She was always thinking about herself and her life goals...She used to even fail to acknowledge that they were in a relationship...She always wanted to get attention like she was still single...In a group, she would become the life of party, center of attention, ignoring Shubham and becoming totally oblivious to his presence...This made Shubham feel really low about himself ...This made him feel confused about if he even existed for Ria...It was slowly breaking him.
