I wish I had some suggestions on how to fix things for you… but I'm 38 years old and am so unbelievably lonely that I can't go a week without getting a bit teary-eyed because of it.

Dear Sahaj: I feel lonely in my family because I feel as if I have to solve all my problems on my own without support, although that’s what I need. I don’t feel as if they give me support ...

I’m having trouble discerning if this is normal as relationships evolve over time? Or if we fundamentally have differences in the closeness we desire from a partner. -- Lonely in Love ...
