T0296 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I am so lonely I cannot believe I've gotten to this place in my life. No friends and literally trapped in a loveless marriage. I'm sad most of the time, and I'm worried that if things don't get any better, my children will start to be affected by my frame of mind. Link to post Share on other sites
sportsloving Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Your children already know you are sad and depressed, they pick up on this far quicker than anyone imagines. Can you join a group, church, or something to meet more people? If your marriage is as loveless as you suggest, is it salvageable or should you be looking into divorce? Have you talked to your husband about how you feel? The only way things will get better is if you work on them. You are never alone, you can come here I wish you luck and hope things get better for you. Link to post Share on other sites
FolderWife Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Oooooh, honey Go to church. You would not BELIEVE how much love is in a church. Go to church 4 times. After 4 times, people will start to recognize you. People in church are the happiest, friendliest people. They will LOVE to see you come in the door. They will LOVE to see you come back. You will not believe how at home they make you feel. Go every Sunday for a month to the same church, and I guarantee you'll have friends, and all the love you'll need. Then go for another month, because then that church will feel like home to you. Start going through the week! If the first time you go doesn't make you feel better, go a second time. If the second time you go doesnt make you feel better, go a third time. If by the third time you go you don't feel better, go to a different church. Not all churches are the same, but 80% of them looooooooooove new people, and 70% are great at making you feel welcome. Usually the deacons or paster will go around shaking hands and welcoming you. As soon as you walk in the door, there's usually someone standing in the door way with a smile and a handshake to welcome you. I always go to church when I feel down. Churches are just so dang full of love, you can't help feeling better Link to post Share on other sites
Author T0296 Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 Since you both suggested joining a church, I will look into that. I am not a religious person, but I think I need to do something. Childcare is always a problem for me, so this may take me a while. Thanks for responding, this is the longest adult "conversation" I've had in months! Link to post Share on other sites
