Katie Holmes is reportedly unhappy with the amount of alone time that she gets to spend with husband Tom Cruise. 

According to the UK’s Closer Magazine:
 

“Katie has become noticeably more miserable in the last few months. She finds it incredibly taxing to lead a life that revolves around Tom but that doesn’t include enough intimate time with him to be genuinely fulfilling.

She doesn’t just want to go to red-carpet events with him. She always feels like she’s competing for Tom’s attention.”

Friends are also reportedly worried she’s close to a break down:

“Everyone is worried that she’s close to breaking point. Katie spends most days alone looking after Suri.  She’s a devoted mother, but it’s a lonely job.  She and Tom have such separate lives.”

We couldn’t agree more, Tom! Nothing is more annoying that actors who think they should run for office. (Cough, Arnold, Cough!)
