Any mums suffer from loneliness?

[Alvira]

I have been married for 23 years. My DH is a very quiet man with no outside interests. We hardly have anything to talk about. My DD is my companion but I am careful to ensure that she isn't my confidante. She must have her own life. Anyother mums in this position?

Yes, I'm feeling lonely at the moment but for very different reasons. However, what I am doing is creating interests of my own.

I've contacted old friends, joined the gym and am looking into some dance classes. I've also started going for long walks in the morning which I find sets me up in a more positive mood for the day.

Do you have any outside interests yourself or could you find an interest that you and your DH could do together?

What's changed? what did you used to talk about?
Do you want to be withhim for the rest of your life?

Do you work or have any outside interests where you meet people? Do you have any girl friends?

Can you maybe do 1 thing together during the week, and you also do something new on your own?
