Bit late really to start this but I can't sleep....just wanted to know if any of you other single mums ever feel lonely and if so what do you do about it? Just thinking about it really cos of bank holiday weekend coming up and hearing everyone's plans for weekends away "en famille" made me feel a bit out of the loop IYSWIM.

I spent a lot of years on my own, son in bed of an evening etc...It was soul destroying really, so yes, me too...
Even now, I'm supposed to be in a long term relationship, but he works away and I'm here, on my own, again. it sucks doesn't it. Now I'm doing it with two Dc's in bed...That's life!
The Internet became my social life and actually that's where I met my Dp...so not all bad. Just wish we were a ' normal couple.whatever that means...

yes the bank holiday weekend is tough - married friends asking politely if you've got any plans? and having to reply with fake smile even though you know whatever you do you'll be feeling like crap! But when you see all the supposedly 'happy families' remember that half of them are probably having some sort of hidden torment - being part of a couple can be lonely too. How many couples are really happy together?

thats how i think peabunny i used to HATE bank hols enforced false family time and i couldnt wait for him to get back to work..he probably felt the same.

peabunny · 08/05/2008 09:22

Exactly! My ex would go off in a strop if we weren't being the perfect family unit at holiday times - so much pressure! At least i feel more relaxed now, even if lonely sometimes. Another bonus of being single - less housework! He made more mess than the DCs!

hi i feel the same have only bin on my own since november and my son was born end of december. i miss his dad so much sometimes cause i get so lonely. but i know his dad is no good for me so am trying to steer clear but we end up arguein when evr we do meet or by text all the time cause i still love him but i know its just not gonna work. he has begged and everything trying to get back together but he is a compulsive lier.
so wot do u do?
how do u not feel lonely when u r surrounded by loads of people and at nite when u just want to snuggl up to someone.
