I slept a lot in my marriage because my ex wasn't meeting my needs for affection. I still sleep because some days there isn't anyone. But I don't see allowing anyone in like that again.
I have always experienced being alone as pain and sadness. But living with my ex was more painful, and no less lonely than living alone. It was probably worse, really. I eventually figured out I could not rely on not getting shouted at unless I only spoke when spoken to.
So I am going to be unhappy, that's inevitable. I have to learn to cope, is all.
I probably seem ungrateful, honestly, I have people who love me. I just won't ever risk letting them all the way in to destroy me.
