You’re in a relationship with someone you love. Nothing dramatic is wrong, there’s no big fight, no obvious reason, and most of the time you feel lonely. In this episode, therapist Marie Vakakis unpacks what relational loneliness actually is, how it develops, why it’s so hard to name, and what to do with it. This episode covers: • What it means to feel lonely in the presence of someone who loves you, and why it’s more common than most people feel permitted to say out loud • The difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and why relational loneliness is often more painful • How loneliness in a relationship develops gradually through small missed moments of connection rather than one dramatic event Show notes and more at marievakakis.com.au Got a question for the podcast?
