Hello Rosemary: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central. Thank you for sharing your concern here. Hopefully coming here to PC can be of some comfort & support.

One additional forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the relationships & communication forum. Here's a link:

And then here links to 2 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of loneliness in marriage. Perhaps there will be something in these articles that can be of some help:

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
