[quote=Anonymous]To those of you who feel so emotionally disconnected with your spouses and feel like you are dying inside--

I am sorry to say this, but consider the possibility that the problem is you. That finding another, better person is not the answer, but rather that you will feel this way no matter who you are with unless you change yourself.

Seriously, consider therapy. And maybe medication. Feeling hollow and dead inside can be a symptom of depression. It may also be that you are repeating patterns you learned when you were very young in your family, and therapy is great for exploring that. Just because you long for emotional connection doesn't mean you aren't, at the same time, emotionally isolating yourself. I speak from experience here.

What's more, your spouse, who you assume is happy with the way things are, may also be secretly lonely and feel disconnected and unhappy but, like you, is keeping up appearances. You feel so lonely and it may be that there is another lonely person right there to connect with. You won't know unless you try. [/quote]
