[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really feel bad for you.  You are making me sad, so I can just imagine how you are feeling.  This town can be a really hard place to meet people.  I also disagree with posters that are advising you to have a bunch of kids. Children are not caulk we use to fill gaps in our hearts.

Where do you live?

You know wives like you are very much like military wives whos DHs get deployed.  You might want to see if you can find some even locally based military focused mesage boards much like this, as those women might be a bit kinder than ones on here andmight be able to give more useful support.  Are you in DC? I presume considering all the hospitals there.

Just like service memers, I do have to thank you for the sacrifice your and your DH make for the rest of us.  Thank god for doctors, someone has to do it![/quote]

OP here.  Thank you for the kind words.  I really appreciate it!  I'm in NoVA burbs.

I feel sad a lot of the time, and it's because of this loneliness.  I wish I could make more friends here, friends who would be willing to hang out more frequently (or at least make more friends so I could have more people to hang out with) but it has been very difficult.  We moved here not knowing a single person so we didn't have anyone to introduce us to anyone.  I tried therapy for a few months this past year to work on the feelings of loneliness but it was completely unhelpful so after four months I quit.   I was hoping to learn coping techniques for dealing with the loneliness.  So far keeping busy hasn't really helped, because what I long for is connection--with DH, with female friends, with family.
