Feel Lonely

[ChocoButterfly]

I'm struggling today. I feel lonely. Got to take my two children out.
This weekend husband will be away as it's a year since his Dad passed away so he's going on a solo hike.
My parents moved abroad when I was 19.
My husband and I will break up once our youngest goes to school.
I have friends but it's not the same as spending time with people who love me and love my children.
It's just dawned on me that once we break up my kids will never be around me and someone else that loves them at the same time. I feel so sad for them and sad for me.

I'm so sorry to read your post, it does sound very lonely and sad for you. I don't have any wise words I'm afraid.

Why are you planning to break up?

How old are the children? Could you join some groups or get them into clubs where you have the chance to meet other parents?

I've got a full life. I go to Pilates once a week, I go to a book club once a week. I have friends to meet up with with my children. It doesn't stop the loneliness though and the feeling that I'm missing out and that my kids are missing out.

Breaking up because my husband can't connect with me. We've had intimacy problems for the whole of our relationship. I've always felt hopefully about it improving. But he's finally said that there's no hope and I agree. We just can't practically or financial do it for another 2 years.
