    Maybe replacing farting with burping would help...?

    Hmm... yes. I think that to some degree, it's normal and expected. You will not always see eye-to-eye or get along. You may grow apart or want different things after years together. If you can communicate, you can usually (not always) get through it and work a compromise or at least communicate things that need to be worked on.

    The problem is when you can't communicate because the person is too sensitive, too overbearing or otherwise hindered by their own reactions to things.

    I've been married for aaaaaaaalmost 14 years this year and there is both an emotional and physical loneliness that occurs from time to time. Physical because my spouse deploys pretty regularly, so I'm left solo-parenting for 6 months out of the year, or a few weeks here and there. Emotional/mental because while we love one another, he and I are two very different people both in personality and backgrounds.

    I think the issue for loneliness is if the loneliness vastly overtakes the good times. If you constantly feel alone, neglected, dismissed or manipulated, that's a giant red flag and you should address your concerns (if possible) and set boundaries. If things don't improve, leave. No one deserves through that kind of loneliness and heartache.

    Best response so far. I totally resonate with it

    I think I am guilty of craving too much attention sometimes.

    Yes, that’s why you should take a secret lover.

    Doesn't really fix the problem though. Might as well leave the relationship and then find someone new.

    That's what's she is doing

    Yeah, from time to time..... I'm thinking 'everyone', or at least 'most everyone'.
