felt so lonely that you just start crying? I remember one evening, my 3 boys in their rooms enjoying each other's company and playing their games, I was in my room feeling so lonely. Why? Because I had no significant other. Mind you, I am not the type that needs someone in my life, I am capable of being by myself, however, it had been so long since I had been in a relationship that i guess that evening it took it's toll. But do you know what made me cry? watching a couple on a commercial kiss. It had been so long since I had felt the affection and love of a man that it made me cry. I know, kinda pitiful right? Soon afterwards, I met a man named John. He came to my place to fix my ceiling and we became fixed on each other. He is the love of my life and I can't wait to become his wife. We have been together for 5 years in June. For anyone who feels lonely today, don't worry for I believe that there is someone for everyone and don't look for anyone, let them come to you. Actually, I prayed for the man I am with. I told God what kind of man i wanted and he delivered. Everyone deserves to be loved and not to be lonely. Happy Valentine's Day!!!

That is very similar to how I am feeling right now at this exact moment. But you know that already : ) But I am trying to be as strong and patient as I can for things to work out. This is the first time in my life that I have been alone though....so it is all new to me. There are times I am finding myself kinda liking it. I am learning more about me every day instead of being enmeshed in another. Which I think will make me a much better person in the long run. I married straight out of highschool and never really had this opportunity. I am very glad you are so Happy, We all deserve it!

You know what, it is very healthy for us to have alone time after breaking up with someone and sorry to hear about your break up. Patience is a virtue sweetie, and things will get better.

Involvement my dear it is lack of involvement. First thing is you should be enthusiastic in your life. That assures you to participate in whatever fancies you. Take up a few hobbies (inexpensive if need be) and indugle yourself in hobbies. Some of the hobbies are so absorbing, time passes without your knowledge. Your reading habits should be put into full use. You should be having some friends of your age, invite them or go to their place. There are thousand ways to keep the lonliness away from us. I have two or 3 friends, but yet from morning through night I am so busy, (I have a business centre where my wife helps me), so we are always busy. There are hundreds of avocation known to mankind and get involved in whatever fancies you. Internet is helpful to us, I feel 24 hours a day is not sufficient. Try to teach your children some hobbies and you get involved. Isuppose this should solve your problems.

yes, I know what you mean but I have never really cried. It sometimes happened over the weekends. Usually throughout the week I keep very busy and I am kind of used to doing a lot so weekends are as it is a bit slow for me. Then on some weekends my son goes to stay with my parents and my hubby is off to his office and i have nothing to do. from morning till about late afternoon, i am looking after the house, the dinner preparations, clothes to be cleaned and such after from evening, boredom starts setting in. i cant even concentrate on the TV. I eagerly await my husband's return and when he is late, i feel frustrated and depressed coz i have nowhere to go, none to talk to. i feel very lonely.

Oh my I have been there too! I tried to find a hobby that I enjoyed, just something to get me out of the house for a little bit to socialize. Always Always feel better when I can get out and about with others ; ) I wish you much happiness on these type days.

Very rarely do we get what we want out of life, and a lot of tears fall.
