Hi. me too. and yes its nice to have a drinky now and then after DC in bed and watch what I want on tv or do whatever I want, but yes, like you Id like someone sometimes to talk to/cuddle/head on shoulder etc.

Im same as you! I never go out as I cant, and cant expect someone to turn up on doorstep! im not into the internet matches things either.

But as I can never go out theres no point anyway.

DCs just gone to bed now so ill stay on MN for a bit and then watch some tv!

Yeah same here I dont like the internet dating thing. Each to there own. Ahh well no point in moaning is there. Thanks for the chat.

me too... I realise I don't need a man... but all the same don't want to be alone forever... Sad

I always feel scared and vulnerable at night. I never sleep properly as the slightest sound wakes me and as its always just me and DC it makes us vulnerable.

and I can put up a fight but our fecking neighbours KNOW were alone and make our lives a misery with their noise and stuff.

I empathise with all the posts here. I don't even go downstairs after getting dd to sleep I do my chores like put a wash on and get back in bed on ipad. Hate being on my own down there. And I feel vulnerable too x

Im okay to be honest I dont get scared unless the leccy hoes (I make sure it doesnt for this reason haha) I dont like going in the garden tho like puttin the bins out always think somebodys gonna creep in when my backs turned ! Talk sbout paranoid.

Yeah I've been a lone parent for 4 years (LO is 7) and im used to the silence at night now, I like it.

But I do feel lonely once in a while. I get sick of seeing fb friends/family complain about their OHs making a mess or snoring etc. I miss those things sometimes.
