Being lonely is a pandemic that hits all of us. A Cigna survey revealed that nearly half of Americans always or sometimes feel alone (46%) or left out (47%). Loneliness isn’t just a U.S. phenomenon. In a nationwide survey released in October from the BBC, a third of Britons said that they often or very often feel lonely. For us, loneliness is a feeling of disconnection and isolation. Staying present, emotionally and intellectually available is creating the connection that we all crave for. But what if you are feeling lonely next to the one you love? What if you are married to that person? Is this an emotional pain bigger than when you are single? We discuss how it feels for an anxious preoccupied attached person to be in a relationship with an avoidant attached partner.
