A bit of a background. I'm an expat and have been living in the UK for the past 10 almost 11 years. At first I lived in London and had a decent group of friends.
A few years later I moved to middle of nowhere as that's where my exHs career was, it's been at least 7 years since I moved out of London.
Ever since I've had no friends. The only semi close one stopped being my friend when I divorced. I also used to work from home, so it could be days even weeks with no human interaction apart from my exH.
I work in an office and it's been great to finally have some human interaction but still have no friends.
I'm about to have my second baby and seeing people having baby showers just makes me so sad because I wish I could have that.
I miss talking to people about my day, or going our for a coffee, drink, whatever. If I have an emergency I have no one to turn to (apart from my DH but just like me he has no friends!)
We've both said that we should make an effort to socialize a bit more but between family and my pregnancy we just havent had the chance.
Nothing left to say, just that from time to time it's painful not have anyone to share the good and the bad of your day to day life.
