to ask you who loves you?

[Dohee]

My dc 100% Well 99% I think.

My parents about 90% each

Nobody else lol.

DS, DH, my parents. That’s it.

In order...

Dog

DD

DH

DF

DM

Various friends and family members.

No one past DH would rush into a burning building 'love me'

My parents, my children, my husband. That's it and that's all I need.

Odd question, Op . Are you ok ?

Most importantly the cat. 😂 But also OH, DS, DD, my inlaws and my best friend.

Parents are vile, not sure they are capable of love. It used to make me very sad, now I realise that the people that do love me and I also love are amazing and I'm very lucky.

If I feel unloved, I'll probably just get some more pets.

My DH (mostly) my dds, cat dog, at least 2 of my brothers. It’s debatable that the rabbits do.

My husband,my sister,nieces and nephews and my dog and cat.

Oh and my brother.😀

My DS, DM, DF, stepdad, 2 sisters, 2 brothers, a couple of my cousins, an Aunty and two or three friends. Maybe my DH but who knows. I'm quite lucky really

DCs
DH
DSis
DBro
1 friend
1 of my aunties
My parents would loudly proclaim they do but it's not love as I understand it.
DCat might miss me a bit if I were gone. He's a deeply affectionate,loyal, dog-like creature.

DF, DM...exDH claims to. That's it i think?

DD, not DF, he's dead*

DD and my parents I guess. DP claims to but doesn't show it

Dog - until DH comes home, then I am dumped. Traitorous beast.
Husband (despite erratic perimenopausal behaviour of late.)
Kids
No one from birth family - feeling’s mutual
My cousin who grew up similarly
Several friends
I’m luckier than most because I can actually say this confidently and without question.

Me
My DH
My DC
Their Partners (well my sil not sure about dil)!!
My dog
And I think our postman at work is extremely keen, it could be love on his part I am not 100% sure!!

I asked because everyone on MN appears to have a legion of friends and family that they suggest posters should turn to. I'm just wondering whether I'm unique in my loneliness!

My kids, but actually not sure sometimes as all 3 are teenagers and sometimes their rudeness is all encompassing. When they were smaller they would say they loved me, now, if asked, they would probably say they don’t.

My Dad and my sister.

My Aunt.

I think that’s it.

The cat - but she loves anyone who is kind to her for long enough.

Why do you feel lonely dohee?

Oh Dohee, that is so sad.
Tell us how we can help you

I also think that if you've never actually really needed a friend you don't know whether they are or not.
I had 4 close friends until I fell on hard times. I now have none.

Mum, Dad, sisters
Dh, kids
Aunt and uncle
Two friends who live abroad

Lol, I'm good now. I know more now, but I was just wondering whether I was the only one. Not many people would have gone through what I have, so I guess their friendships have never been put to the test. If you asked me 5 years ago? EVERYBODY loved me. Lol

My dog

My kids

My siblings

My ex probably cares for me. My friends care for me. That's not the same as love, exactly.

My dog loves me the most

Two DC's - young adults
Two cats because I feed them
3 DBs
A handful of friends and a few cousins plus a few nieces and nephews. Not bad in the great scheme of things.
It's more about those that dislike me that I keep my eye on.
a couple of sisters and a couple of others in my social group

Dohee you are right, you don't know who your friends are until they are needed! I too have lost friends when hitting hard times, but I found opening up and looking for new friends helped. I will never forget how sad I felt reaching out to practically strangers for help, some amazing people reached out and got me back on my feet. Be brave, do something out of the ordinary to find a friend and try not to worry about what happens when you meet stormy waters ahead. Good luck x
