No one

I haven't seen or spoken to another adult all weekend.

I assume you have dc with you? Or are they somewhere else? Can you get out of the house for a bit now before it gets too dark?

I haven't spoken to anyone - adult or child - since Friday night either so I know how you feel.

I'm just about to go to the local shop and will try to call a friend this evening.

Do you see people in the week? At work?

I had a 2 minute conv with the cashier at the supermarket this afternoon, and that was the only other adult I've spoken to sincerely Friday 5pm... It's hard, isn't it.

The kids are here this weekend, not that any weekend is any different whether they are here or not.

When did life become so lonely? It just feels like it shouldn't be like this.

I thought I had friends but it's like they all disappear on the weekend for family time. I know I need to man up and accept it but I find the no adult company hard. It all merges in to one mass of time and I find myself looking forward to work Monday morning just so I have people to talk to

Not sure if it would work for you but I find the radio is good adult company in the absence of real company.

Are you friendly enough with your dc's friends' parents to organise something to do with them one weekend?

Do you have family or friends you can phone once they are in bed for a catch up?

When I'm alone I listen to LBC! It's great, takes my mind of feeling alone.

This used to be me. I could go all weekend without seeing or speaking to another adult. It was like I was invisible from Friday evening until Monday morning. I used to get really upset about it, however now my dc are teenagers I can go out and about without them and it’s opened up a whole new world for me. I’ve joined a singles group met new friends. I can also now go to markets, car-boot sales, for a coffee or just a wander. It’s amazing how many other people are sat in a coffee shop on their own reading the paper etc. However I had five years of being on my own on weekends and bank holidays and it was miserable. Sorry can’t offer any brilliant advice other than I understand what you are feeling. It won’t last forever though op.

Yep same here. I have 4 kids but it's still so lonely. I was thinking this the other day. Will life always be like this. No friends and no partner. Family though they are not that bothered/interested.

I can't really talk to my parents, every time I try if I mention loneliness I just get cut down.
Hard time with one of the kids and some medical tests as well and I think it just reminds you how alone you are
