Days like today make me wonder if there is any hope for me. I might just be a robot, afterall.

I hope you feel better.
Days like today make me wonder if there is any hope for me. I might just be a robot, afterall.
I wonder if it's possible to be too close to someone?
My husband and I could not be any closer, we spend 100% of our time together, and live such very isolated lives... Most days the closest we come to real life contact with people is someone walking past the window very infrequently, or my husband answering the door to the postman... Maybe once every couple of months we'll have a family member visit for a few hours... Oh and a weekly phone call to my mother from me and a weekly phone call to his grandmother and uncle for him... Otherwise, we don't talk to or see anyone...
The problem, is, we're so close we seem to actually consider ourselves as one entity... As my husband put it last night "When I imagine talking to someone else, it's me and them... When I'm talking to you it's just "us"... It's almost like there isn't someone else there..." And he's right... Even together, we still feel lonely at times.
We even influence each others emotions so much that we may as well be one person, since there is no way one of us can feel sad and not instantly make the other feel exactly the same... We don't even need to act on our emotions to influence the other... It just happens.
So, then of course, I feel that perhaps there's something wrong with our marriage if we cannot fulfill everything we need, if we still need someone outside of it... Maybe that doesn't make sense to anyone else... But we both always felt that just having each other would be enough... But we're wrong... But then, I wonder, is it because we're too close?
Is it a problem in a marriage to feel that you need a friend too? Both of us feel that way, and we actually want a friend in common, not friends which are only for one person and not the other... But true friends are very difficult to find...
Of course, the main problem is probably just that we've had a lot of negativity in our lives recently, with different things, and perhaps because of our similarity to each other we need a little extra support...

I shouldn't have made those comments. I feel stupid now. I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
Story of your life.
^That's what Obama did!
