If you are lonely despite being married or in a committed relationship, you are not alone. You may share a bed, meals, responsibilities and even children, but if there is no emotional connection, there is no real relationship, and the result is a sense of profound loneliness. In this video, Dr. Hawkins points out 3 things that lead to loneliness in marriages – preoccupation with one’s own needs and wants, not acknowledging and appreciating the individuality of one’s partner, and lastly, lack of healthy attachment.

I am married to a Narcissist for 29 years I don’t know how to help my self
This really helped me
They keep you chained. Younger women please leave. They destroy you. There is no love.
After a 15 year extremely emotionally and sometimes physically abusive marriage, i entered into a second marriage that is very similar. After listening to several of your videos, i now realize his desperation to be with me was not love but feeding his narcissism. Now we are going into our 7th year of marriage and i have wanted to leave since week one.
I am a believer and the bible says, if i divorce that i cannot remarry. I have wanted to be loved and love someone all my life. So at 46 years old, if i leave then i am to live out my life alone according to the Word or i am an adulterer.
Yes, I have seen all of this!!!! The narcissist never chases after their wife to be with them, they make their wife chase after them every time. Disconnected is a great word to describe this matter of people who use people when they have nothing better to do or no one else to give them attention. The wife is always the last resort for attention with narcissistic husbands. I am convinced the best thing to do in cases like this is for the wife to carry on with her own hobbies and friendships outside the marriage. I do not mean affairs, I mean lovely other empathetic women who love us and who we love. Jesus Christ is the answer to all of this, depending on Him to bring joy and peace in spite of these things.
I am married for 45 years, as homemaker too.
I am going thru this loneliness for these much years. Bcos of my faith and the covenant i did before God, and the saints of congregation, when ever i make a decision to detach i feel guilty before my God. How can i breakdown?
I have no finance support either.
This is my marriage
Is very hard to separate from that when you don’t have anything and not one 😢
Dr.thanks so much Sir
Narcissistic Marriages: Resulting in Lonelyness? How often one needs S*X and what’s the desired level of space needed in any relationship? Unless one breaks down ~ your business is gone!! None to listen to or to EXPLORE.
Married 12 years to what I considered a professional Christian but now realize a modern day Pharisee. I've been lonely since the honeymoon that wasn't so much honey. I'm crying watching this as I hear the empathy. Been to so many worthless counselors and when some finally got it he would storm off and lie to everyone about it and say it was me. All in church leadership should read People of the Lie and the newer book In Sheep's Clothing. I'm glad you say you can help. I've been trying to see about signing up to your clinic since January and I finally paid but won't get in till like December. And it's not even with you but hopefully someone who could be just like you. 😭 Praying 🙏🏼 this will help. I don't want to leave him but life would have probably been better if I did like all the other awake counselors said I should.
I pretended I didn't see it. I held hands with this man only in church. The mask of ignoring has been taken off you, release yourself, and breakthrough this, you deserve so much better. There must be an intervention if not let him/her go.
I felt lonely in my 18.5 years Since God allowed ex to leave I feel amazing
I don’t feel lonely anymore I feel like a weight lifted I feel peace I feel free and I’m no longer living a lie
I was so confused profoundly hurt rejected abandoned disregarded
disrespected and chronically lied too
I was even neglected sexually This was so painful I am so thankful to God for strengthening and giving me the ability to let my ex go It’s been two in half years I am free!!!
Yes it is pretty lonely when you are married to someone who creates chaos then plays the poor attacked victim when you get upset! No empathy for anyone but they want coddling.
🕊👏🕊
I'm only seen and relevant when other women he's pursuing don't pan out like he wants and he fears being left alone. Then his attention turns to me in a small and selfish way until another women comes into his sights.
I really appreciate the godly wisdom that you and your staff share in these videos. I have learned so much. I think one of the things that makes a person in a narcissistic relationship feel lonely is the fact that they can sense that distance because their partner is self-absorbed, but outside the home, their partner is very engaging and kind and warm toward others. It definitely creates a sense of not good enough in the person who is struggling to make sense of the difference. I think it would be so helpful if you and your staff could make a video addressing that heartache that is created by the duality. Thank you so much.
Oh yes, he takes hold, leaves bruises,
broken ribs.
and won't let
go.
but still
lonley
I was only a supply to this covert religious narcissist person who was all about them. I had 3 years and I got out. They cared a rat about me. They are the center of her world. I told Folk today that if you are in an abusive relationship, those demons do not have the capacity to love you, So do not lose yourself trying to find someone who unfortunately can never be found.
The existing house needs to be brought down in able to be to be rebuilt right! ❤
Yes….THANK YOU SO MUCH for your videos.
God bless you so much.
This includes men too.
