There is no person in this world who has never felt lonliness. One should not take it so seriously. If you think that you are the only person feeling the lonliness, it is not good for yourself, your family and the people surrounding you. After sometime you will have depression. So don't take the lonliness so seriously.

Loneliness is a feeling only. You must not give much importance to your feelings

I am married also, but sometimes still feel lonely. No matter how many friends we have or how close we are to family, in one sense we are always alone. No one can ever get inside our head or into our emotions to think and feel the way we do. That can be frustrating and lonely. I guess that's why I enjoy my belief in God, because I feel He fills my empty spots and knows me the way no other person can.
P.S., I like the avatar!

It is a strange thing about lonelyness... Sometimes one needs to be alone. But specially a married mother can never really claim the time to be completely alone. On the other hand, the people around her do not accept such feelings.
This is, what causes loneliness and even depression.
That special person to fill your empty spots would in fact be you, when you have no chance to come to yourself.
Dumping ones own feelings, not taking them as important can help for a minute, for some time you just have to function. But this is what everyone around you does anyways - not meaning any harm, just thoughtless.
Missing oneself is a bad situation, which one does mostly not realize. Married persons must urgently talk with their spouse about such things - s/he cannot know what s/he is not told, also good friends or parents, those who you would like to realize you more.
It is not healthy to suppress feelings. The only persons for whom you must appear strong and function are children. There is nothing wrong to show weekness to well meaning persons around you.
On the contrary, this leads sooner or later to depression. - Or to looking to find 'that special person' somewhere, which is totally wrong most times - I 'm not talking about morals, but about the fact, that this person probably does not exist, and a lonely person is very susceptible to finding all kinds of wrong persons, always thinking it is the right one. And finally they loose the chance to claim their righteos part of attention from those they are related to.

Yes i feel lonely sometimes and somehow i feel that their is really something missing in my life, i don't what it is or who is it. I am married for 2 years now and i have to small kids, a family, friends and i also work. Why do i feel like this i ask myself. It does not mean that i don't love my husband coz i really do love him. I miss myself sometimes and the things that i used to do when i was still single. What i do is i take a walk and meditate and ponder on things and then im ok again. I think it is natural to feel lonely sometimes even at crowded place.

I'm married and I'm not lonely. I hope to never feel lonely now that I'm married.

sometimes i have that kind of feeling, 'cause my husband is very busy to his work...his a call center agent so when he go home he just go to sleep, but he still manage his time, and on the other hand I'm looking for a person who can talk to me not a special as what you've mean, just a friend or sometimes i talk to God, or keep myself busy so i can forget what feelings i have that time.

Do you know that you also have the need to be lonely?
Lonely and lonelyness is not a negetive term or connected with pain always. Because we some time badly needed to be lonely, to be with our own selves and this is also based on lonelyness! Some time lonelyness is helping to gain your individuality as well as to develop your understanding!
So accept such lonelyness with positive attitude and go ahead!
