Sat in my garden in this beautiful sunshine, alone! Anyone else out there feeling a little bit sorry for themselves?

Or are you content (answer honestly) in the fact you have absolutely no plans this Saturday evening?
My dd's are at friends intil 8.30pm. They have been out since 2pm. I have been sat scrolling facebook- Instagram- mumsnet....
Recently single and feeling completely lost!
What do all you single mammas do on weekend days/evenings?

I'm newly single and I'm same. Feeling the loneliness today, yet I don't want him back. Funny thing is if he was still here I'd be lonely too

For me it is not “beautiful” weather. 31 here and stifling so it’s locking myself in my room with the air con weather! I had a nice lie in, played a computer game I like. Read for a while. Going to watch a film with a couple of glasses of wine. I like being alone!

Yeah me.

I’m lonely. Split with DP end of last year. Now living with my DC (one of whom is autistic and bloody hard work.)

Eldest is out tonight. Surrounded by neighbours having barbecues, watching football, socialising. Love the sunshine but it sort of loses its appeal when you’re alone.

Feeling very sorry for myself. It won’t change either so this is my life. 😕

I dis a decade on my own after breaking up with DC's dad Bank Holidays and Sundays get a bit grim on the plus side I met my now DH when my DC were late teens and I had more time to myself... He moved in 3 weeks after we met got married 18 months later and it's now ten years on.

I'd like to meet someone but I guess that involves socialising , which I seem to have lost the knack of.

@icantbelieveitsnotnutter I'm in the same boat as you

Weekends can be hard. During the week there’s stuff on that I can go to but at weekends the kids are all busy and I’m left with the housework... I’m getting less and less bothered about it though. Quite happy pottering about.

But where do you meet someone?

I'm not into OLD, all my friends & their friends are coupled up so no chance of meeting a friend of a friend, my workplace is very small so not exactly a hotbed of suitable men & between work & kids I've no time for hobbies.

DD is away to her GP's tonight & DS is on the PS4 so I'm sat here watching crap telly just the same as I do most nights.

I tried OLD it was awful.

It's all the cliches I think. I joined a gym, did Spanish lessons tried salsa I also asked all my friends and family to set me up on blind dates I gave myself a year when I would go on as many social events as I as invited to that were NOT girls nights out. If I hadn't met someone in the year I'd stop and accept being single. But now looking bad I think also you have to be ready and you have to want a new relationship warts and all.
I was ready and in the ten/fifteen years before I was prioritising my DC and wasn't actually ready for a new relationship. And honestly now I live my DH but I'd love to be single again just for a short time do what I want watch what I want eat what I want.......

I don't think I could live with someone again as I'm too used to my own space & company but it would be nice to have someone to do things with.

But then I look at the relationship board here & listen to friends constantly moaning about how shit their lives/husbands are & think " nah I'm good"

Yep me too. Newly single and no plans but I'm sat watching good girls, eating pasta and drinking cider and tomorrow I'm packing up my house. I've just turned 39 and I'm determined my 40's are going to be better than my 30's so writing plans!

@Strawbroke I started watching that a few nights ago on the assumption that I'd see less than 10 minutes before falling asleep... was up until 1am & had to force myself to put it off 🙈

I was invited to watch the match with a load of old school friends but as they’re obsessed with banter and piss taking I really couldn’t face it.

Been on my own all day, watched the match alone and sat outside for a bit.

It's a bit rubbish. I moved to my new town over a year ago but still haven't really made any friends. Certainly no one that I could just call up/ pop in for a visit.

@Bubblesandcake
Just thought I'd say hello too.

I'm at home but living with ex at the mo ( which isn't very pleasant) He is here, my DC are here but I feel alone.

I can also hear the sounds of families laughing, the splashing of water, smells of barbecues

It's awful to feel alone when you are actually with people , more so than if you are properly alone.

I'd love to have someone I can just pop round and have a cuppa with or for someone to come to mine. No one ever just calls round to see me.

Hi I'm in Crete with my lovely sister & it's beautiful here... except I have a bad stomach due to ibs, hopefully be better tomorrow then it's back down the beach!!

Also there's lots of families making me broody! And the only attractive men are all married here like at home.

We followed the England match on Facebook very happy we won. There are lots of Swedes here who probably aren't so happy!

Nice to hear from you all 😊 Sorry some of you are feeling a bit lonely though.
I think I'm going to join some kind of gym. Go swimming on summer evenings. Being left with my own thoughts is depressing. I think I need a break from social media too.
Is that on Netflix?

Yep been on my own all day too. Recently dumped by a guy I’d been seeing a few months ( just out of a 20 year marriage) DD is at her dads. Watched football on my own, just finished a bottle of wine in the garden. Feeling very sorry for myself. I’d love to be out tonight- I can hear people in the street having a great time - shit isnt it

Don't say if you'd rather not , but where abouts is everyone. It would be good if we could arrange a get together . I'm in Essex .

I’m in bed watching SATC! Have been to the beach with friends today but didn’t have the best time... feeling low but trying to make the best of a bad situation. Ex and I have split but still living together. It’s hard and hope I feel better once he’s gone!

Me too! Got dumped out of the blue by guy I'd been seeing for over a year. I was single for years before we met and can't face the hell of Internet dating again. We were supposed to go to a music festival this weekend, can't find anyone to go with and don't want to go on my own. Not seen a soul since Thursday evening when we split up. Feel v sad and alone. to everyone who is on their own right now, it sucks!

I’m in the East Midlands - we should have a virtual party!
