First of all do you have any interests and hobbies outside of your relationship? Do you still spend time with your girl friends doing "girly" things like shopping or getting together for dinner or lunch once a week, or an evening out dancing with them once a week?
Expecting to spend all of your time with your partner is not realistic and of course will lead to loneliness if they are continuing to pursue their own interests.
The most healthy relationships involve communication. Lots and lots of communication. I'm not talking about how the weather is or how work went. I'm talking deep, soul wrenching discussions about wants, likes, dislikes, desires, future goals, and feelings; not only of love, but of sadness, loneliness, anger etc. A couple that can't or won't discuss those issues doesn't stand a chance of staying together.
It does sound like you have some depression going on too. And seeing your doctor about it wouldn't be a bad idea.
However, start to pick up interests outside of your relationship. Take a class, be it educational, art, exercise or whatever interests you. Sign up as a volunteer at your local hospital once or twice a week. Just to get yourself out of the house doing something just for you.
It's great to have togetherness with your partner, but it's also important that neither of you become dependent on the other for entertainment and happiness. It's important that you both be able to find your own ways to those means on your own, while still being in the relationship.
Spend time together, but both of you need to spend time on your own with your own friends and doing your own interests too.
