This question might at first seem like you’re trying to diagnose a problem with your significant other. But I don’t think that feeling alone means something is wrong. You can feel alone when surrounded by people and you can feel alone when you’re in a healthy, loving relationship. For me, in fact, very often creativity grows out of first feeling alone. I find that it’s a fertile place even if it’s not always the most comfortable. Ask your partner this question out of a spirit of curiosity (not “fixing”) and you may learn something new.
