To feel lonely this evening?

[dingit]

It's a beautiful evening, and neighbours are sitting drinking on patio. DH not home, and have no idea when he will be. DC are with friends, I just don't feel like sitting there on my own. Sounds ridiculous put in words.

lol and here I was just thinking wish my lot would all bugger off for an hour so I could enjoy a in the sunshine in peace

At least you all have someone to spend most evenings with :(

To be honest I think YABVU. My DH died just over two years ago and my youngest DC is soon to be off to uni. Your loneliness is temporary mine, and many others', is long term.

I would love a few hours of peace & quiet, the nearest I will get to it is an hour in bed trying to recover from the most horrendous PMT I have had in my life. DH came home early to look ofter the dc while I lie down.

Even my cat has gone next door!

I'm on my own dh has been kept back at work.
Currently watching despicable me with toddler dd and having a vino. It's quite nice actually just to do nothing and she loves the cuddle.

Nah, NU. Though as soon as I read your OP I knew most of the posts would be as they are above because loneliness, like tiredness, is apparently very competitive...

DP is out tonight, I've been in all day with the DC. I have no wine either. I know how you feel.

Ilovegeorgeclooney I am sorry for your loss. It put my rant with dh this morning about a minor issue into perspective. We don't always appreciate what we have got until it has gone sometimes & get a bit caught up in the moment.

Not competitive but insensitive.

Sorry for your loss ilovegeorgeclooney.

I know it's temporary. Part of it is because next doors DH never goes to work on a Friday ( particularly a sunny one) he 'works' from home! My DH works all the hours god sends, and yes I know lots of others do too!

Raisah, too true, my DH, a fit and healthy 52 year old, got up went to work as a GP and just dropped dead. He had the best possible care with his colleagues desperately trying to help him but he was a victim of SADS. Loneliness is not a competition but a few hours is a little more bearable.

I'm with you. OH and DS are on a daddy-day-out to Kew Gardens with a picnic. I'm on strict orders to not lift a finger.

I want mah babeh back. It's boring without the little one.

It's more boring with no-one ever and when your friends can't see you for more than a week.

And YABU. I don't understand how you could feel lonely sorry.

Me too this evening op. dcs are with their dad and im all on my lonesome. Called round to see a friend earlier and she and her dh were having a drink together in the garden. I wish i was better at being my own company. I hate it.

It's all relative.

With respect to everyone on this thread ( and i really do mean that) op is entitled to feel lonely if she is indeed lonely. It mightnt be the eternal lonliness of being widowed but it is lonliness of a kind and she is not UR to feel it sometimes.

Personally I love time on my own, I am lucky to have a DH and a DS but I spend a lot of time alone, purely by choice. Do you not have any hobbies/interests you can pursue? I love nothiing more than an evening with a good book and a nice meal or the chance to watch what I want on tv without anyone else's opinion .

My DH and DS will be out again tonight - I have arranged to go litter picking .

And no, I completely understand that being alone by choice is different to having it foisted on you but I do think there is something to be said for at least trying to enjoy your own company - this is not aimed at those who have lost loved ones in tragic circumstances .

Lonely here too tonight :(

Yay, my cat is back home again and she is going to get brushed now (she wishes she was out again!), sorry for being grumpy earlier.
