feeling lonely

[webmum]

I?ve just come back from a little get together with 2 friends and oddly, I now feel lonelier than before.....do you ever get the feeling that no one ever understands you completely??
maybe I?m asking too much but I miss having a friends who is similar to me, who believes in the same things, a bit like dh, only female. it?s not like I don?t have friends, I do, but some live too far away to be able to see them even once a week, those that are close, I just don?t seem to share the same view on life with them, we obviously have a few things in common, but sometimes I miss someone with whom I could share everything, that we could do lots of things together.
maybe I?m asking too much, maybe a perfect soulmate does not exist for me, maybe I should just be happy to have many friends, who together have all the things I would look for in one....or maybe I?m just having a bad day....

I only ever had a"best friend", in junior school,since then I've always had a group of friends, each of which I share different things with.They have all changed over the years, but I still keep in touch with most of them.
I've been to M&T groups since having the boys,and found them quite good as I enjoy meeting new people, but again ,no one person that I really hit it off with. I always seem to get on best with the "odd bods", in any group.
I don't go to M&T groups anymore, now the boys are older ,I find I would rather take them out somewhere and have fun together, I think M&T groups are better, when they are smaller and you are limited what you can do with them.
I really don't feel lonely, as I know there are friends I can call if I want, but I do quite enjoy my own company and that of my boys.
I think I've always been like this, as when I was single,I much prephered travelling on my own, rather than with friends, I think it makes me feel free, just doing my own thing. I used to think I would never meet a partner that I would be completely happy with, for this reason, until I met DH, he really is my soulmate.
