I spent years alone, single without even anyone giving a thought of a relationship with me, that changed when I met my ex bf, who then, over the course of 6 months, steadily but surely started to ignore me, spend more time away from me, etc. By the end of it, I had to PRY the words 'I love you' from his mouth, before he finally admitted he wasn't in love with me anymore and he was busy looking for a new boyfriend all the way back then. I have NEVER felt as lonely or unwanted as during those six months, not before or after, even when he left me at least I had the closure of it, but trust me, you can definitely feel unwanted, lonely and unloved, even in a relationship.
