For Me

A personal story in the experience: I Am Gay
H i my name is Janene, and i have been in a gay relationship for 8 years, and i have never ever felt so alone.

I want what everyone thinks is the norm, happiness, fun, respect, closeness, humor, excitment, and compassion.

Most of all i want someone to want me for me, and just say it but show it as well.

I don't think being in a gay relationship has anything to do with you feeling alone. I think that feeling can be in any unsatisfying relationship.

To be in something for 8 years there had to be something there at the beginning. All relationships suffer some sort of struggle with feeling disconnected from your partner. Relationships go bad because both people dont make the effort to keep the energy moving forward.

It sounds like it's either the wrong person for you or one of you doesn't want to put the effort into each other.

Hey Jabby. So sorry to hear you feel so alone. I've found that the feeling of "alone-ness" comes from within, regardless of whether or not we have others around us. Some who are in wonderful relationships can sometimes still feel alone. This is normal. Don't be hard on yourself. But, working on the CAUSE of the lonliness is the only way to fix it. And, I can assure you, it's not by wanting or getting "what everyone thinks is the norm", as you said. I'd be happy to share some advice, if you are open to it. Just let me know.
Hugs to you. Don't give up.
