I Need Emotional Intimacy

Married Without Intimacy Is Worse Than Being Single

By: nurseangel44
Written on January 2nd, 2013
Being married without emotional intimacy is worse than being single. I feel isolated and alone. I am an empath, and need that emotional connection and being deprived of it makes me feel so lifeless. I am a very giving loving person & feeling no emotion or love from the one I am married to makes me feel ill & very unhappy. 
My right to search or be with someone who gives the kind of affection I need is taken away, and knowing it is out there leaves one yearning for something we cannot have.

    I totally know what you mean. I'm also and empath and have been having a difficult time with my husband lately. Not only is he not affectionate, but he is also an energy vampire. So it is really difficult to be around him. It is really lonely sometimes. I am really hungry for affection so I can relate to you. You are not alone in how you feel. Sending a hug.
