People who live happily by themselves...

[gotthefaceon]

Do you have days where you wake up and wish there was someone to chat to?

I'm not always alone as I have children. But have quite a bit of time by myself. I do see friends but I'm limited financially with how often I can go out. Also friends aren't always available.

I'm having a nice lie in, made myself lovely breakfast and coffee so it's not awful. But I really wish I had someone to chat to. Just some easy familiar lazy morning chat.

I’ve been a widow for 27 years, ever since the DC were babies. They went off to uni 12 years ago, and now have their own homes, so it’s just been me and the cat for that long.
Mostly it’s okay- I go out to my hobbies and visit the DC an hour’s drive away in the city, but there are still days when I miss DH so much it hurts.
The trouble is, I don’t want a new partner. I want DH. He was my soulmate and the love of my life. So I’m stuck with being alone until the day I die and am reunited with him.
When you’re serving a life sentence, there are bound to be some days when it gets you down, however much you try to make the best of things.

I am separate and often can't imagine ever wanting anyone else - but I know that's nothing compared to losing your DH Babdoc, your soulmate - and clearly while young

I feel exactly like you do.

My son is about to leave home, so this is on my mind right now, as I am really happy single, no intention of being in a permanent relationship again - but up to now I've always had my son around.

When son goes to his Dad's, it's just me and the cats, and I actually love it; when my previous cat died, I was distraught. I'd keep talking to him, then realise he wasn't there any more. My cats are who I share stuff with.

But without son around, will I feel differently? I suspect no, although I will miss him terribly

I had so many years with various someones to do nothing with. Cats are way better IMO

No. But it would be nice to have someone to go on holiday with and to pick me up from hospital etc.

I couldn't live alone - and never have.

I'm just not that much fun 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a few friends who live alone and are happy but not for me.
