Phillipa,
I find the T asking you why are you afraid of being alone is a question I find unsettling; I think that it is a human condition whereby the majority of people don't want to be alone. Many women I find stay in marriages they are unhappy in due to the fear of being alone. I don't believe that is an unwarranted fear. Nor an unexceptional one either. Maybe she just wanted you to articulate it. If not, she is a dummy. Most people are not loners, and only loners are happy being alone. If people did not mind being alone, why would so many bars have so many people out there trying to hook up with someone. Maybe you should call her back and say I am afraid of being alone because I am human. that is it, no more. Humans are designed to want the company of others. Most want to socialize. Again, those that don't are more not the norm versus the norm. So I find her question again puzzling.
I am sad you are unhappy. I understand your pain though. Too bad there isn't a happy pill. I would dispense it freely if there was!!!
take care, and try to do something today just for you to cheer yourself up.
