Today has been an ok day. I have a daycare with another gal and had this afternoon off. I am married and have two kids but feel very lonely. My husband works two - three jobs a day and is never home. My daughter is 21 and works until 8 three nights a week. My son is 17 and works for a lawn care business and never knows what time he will get off work. I am home a lot and feel lonely. I have kids under 5 all day and then am alone at night. I need some adult conversation. My husband talks about his jobs all the time but when I talk about something, it feels like he doesn't care. He will interupt me a lot when I am talking and start talking about something else. I guess I just don't understand how I can feel so lonely when I am married and have two kids. Maybe I'm just being a big baby and feeling sorry for myself.
I agree, you are not a baby. We all have that desire to be loved and heard. Is that too much to ask? Sometimes I think we can just be a bit taken for granted, almost like furniture at times. I am sure your husband loves you very much. They sometimes forget what it must be like for us, yearning for adult conversation. And, hey, I always say its ok to have a pity pot party now and then, as long as we flush.. giggle.. Ok, sorry... Just trying to be funny! I really do understand and know how hard it can be. Praise God, at least your husband talks to you. Right now mine is too angry or scared, I think, to talk much after what has happened with my daughter. If you ever want to just talk or need a sounding board, I'm here! :) Michelle

Thanks Michelle. I'm here for you also. It is so nice to have a place to talk to friends. My husband talks to me sometimes. Not always as much as I would like. Most of the time he is gone working so don't have the chance to talk. He gets home and is bed alseep within an hour so not much time to talk. Then he wonders why I don't say anything to him. He is more concerned about working and what happened to him during the day to talk about my life. God bless.
