[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP of this thread.  I was surprised to see it back on here given that it's such an old thread.

Anyhow, it is ironic to see this thread up as my husband is working late yet again tonight.  The loneliness is still very difficult for me.

Not a whole lot has changed since I first posted this thread.  I joined a number of new social/meetup groups, and we even started our own meetup group (but it was a dismal failure).  I am still incredibly lonely, have only a few friends in the area, no local family, and find it hard to cope with his long hours sometimes.  We still spend every holiday alone, or I spend it alone while he is working.  I am feeling particularly blue due to the loneliness today, so I'm not in the most perky mood.

I wish I could post now and say that things have really turned around, but unfortunately, despite my best efforts, they have not.

Hi, OP. Sorry things haven't improved much for you.  I'll be moving to DC sometime this year.  I'm a single female doc (so not a physician's wife like you, but would love to make friends in the area).  I work about half as much as your DH, so I have a little more free time than most docs.   Let me know if you are interested in chatting by e-mail or meeting up when I move.  If so, I'll make up a new e-mail address and post it.  Or if you post the name of the meet up group you started, I'll contact you that way.  This is the problem with anonymous forums. It's a pain in the butt to contact someone :)[/quote]
