[quote=Anonymous]I'm happily marrired but DH has a demanding job, 70 hour weeks. No kids yet. We're newish to the area--moved here 3 years ago from Orgeon. No family or support networks here. I'm an only child and my parents live in California, so I've always felt lonely here, especially because I only see my parents once a year. DH's family is cold and disinterested, and they live in Miami. When DH isn't around or on a business trip, I feel completely and utterly alone. I am a social person, and enjoy being around people, and I don't like being alone because it makes me feel incredibly lonely. I don't have any sense of belonging here. I have made new 2 friends here, but they're not the kind of friends I could count on. I work fill-time but don't feel a sense of belonging at work. I don't feel that DH and I belong here or anywhere, we can't seem to find our social niche. It's a very depressing feeling. Just started seeing a therapist but not sure this issue is something I can ever really resolve without making more new friends who would be like a surogate family here. Everyone is wrapped up in their own lives and has no time for me, and no one reciprocates when I reach out to invite people to lunch or to do an activity. Does anyone else feel this way? I find it very hard to cope with these feelings of extreme loneliness and isolation.[/quote]
