Fore Those Of You Whoe Are MARRIED or WITH Someone!

Just a year and a half ago we moved to another state and I couldn't go back to work because the school hours here are not very giving to two parents working. So, I opted to stay home again and raise the kids. But it does get very lonely around here when the kids are all at school and my partner is at work. At first, we solved that by getting a dog. Then I wanted another dog to have a friend for my dog. I felt as if she might be getting lonely without one of her kind around. ha ha But now it has turned into 3 dogs...and even though I have 3 dogs to keep me company while I am alone at the house...I still get lonely. I swear the dogs must think I am a really quiet person. ha ha So, there are times that I will talk to them. And there are times that I will play music and dance around. Then of course there are many things to do around the house. But mostly what has helped, is having my best friend here at myLot!!!! We may be living a state apart...but I still feel as if I get a sense of her here. So, being here with my best friend and other friends that I have made here has helped. :)

My boyfriend is a kind of forest ranger for the Kitlope Valley; so when he's working it consists of him being gone for a couple of weeks at a time. Almost no contact at all because it's just the satellite phone out there and that costs alot. Yeah, I miss him like crazy when he's gone. I just try to keep as busy as I can. My kids help with that alot. We go for cookouts, hikes or just to the park to play alot.

That is a very good question. I usually spend most of my time on the computer sending ecards to my husbands email. I also tend to fill out surveys online and wait for him to return. I do know that by the time he does return home, his mailbox is full of emails and cards from me. It does make you feel lonely when they are gone though.

yes i miss him so much when he is at work... i feel like nobody is beside me... and all day long i speak with him on mess and i ring him when i want to... but i think this is too much... i want to let him to do his work...

When my "other half" isn't with me I never feel alone. First of all I am with my little son the most part of my free time, when I am not at work I am with him, and yet, if there isn't my son because he is at school or he has visited some friends, I like listening to music or drawing and painting, art is my favourite hobby and I have never time for it, so, if I am alone, I'm very happy to devote a little of my time to my beloved hobbies.

Yep I miss my other half very much when he goes to university or simmilar! It wasn;t so bad before because I used to wrok full time but now I have maternity leave I have not much to do at home all day and I start getting very lonely! It's strange because it's not like I really do much with him or anything when he is in but funny enough I miss him when he isn't here

Because I am a stay home mom I look forward to the alone time. I have 4hours in the morning to myself before I have to go pick up my 3yr old from pre-school then she goes down for a nap. Then arround 3:30 pm my other 2 kids get home along with my best friends 3 kids so I end up with a house full of 6 kids untill there mother gets home then they go home(nextdoor) then my husband comes home and I feel a bit relieved cause help has arrived. So to be honest I enjoy the time I Have home alone gives me a chance to get things done that Icant do when the kids get home.

I'm generally busy enough with my own life, that I'm not bothered when my friends or boyfriend aren't around. One of my close friends is in your situation though. She's always stuck at home with her kid, while her husband works. Maybe you should think about getting a job of your own, or possibly find some new hobbies to occupy your free time. That way you'll be busy enough, that you won't notice everyone else not being around. :)

Yes,I do get lonely because of that. I don't work and all my friends do. I cook, post on the internet and clean house to occupy my time.

I used to feel that way a lot when I first came to the US, that was around a year ago. I had no friends here then and I was so miserable. I felt so sad and homesick. I came here right after I got married and left my family and friends back in India. For almost 6 months I was so almost into depression then suddenly things got better. I got used to the way of life here and I also came across myLot:) I also spent a lot of time cooking, and that has become a passion now. I love to experiment new cuisines. So now life isn't so bad after all. I spend the whole day online on myLot, I meet my neighbours who are very friendly and I get along with them now..so my day goes by and soon my hubby is back home.

I have been married for 11 years now. So I would I have to say no I don't get lonely. I have a lot of programs online that keeps busy, along with cleaning the house and taking care of my kids. My husband works hard at his job, so I'm not going to call and bug him. We are both prior Navy, so we are used to him being gone at long periods of time. Now in the beginning, I was lonely and bored out of my mind. I have learned to do things for myself. Look into getting a hobby, something that will take your mind off of missing your husband. Try planting flowers, or getting a pet, anything that will keep you busy. Just have fun doing whatever you chose to do during the day.

Yep I sure do get lonely when my hubby goes to work and its too quite around here. I tried to stay busy doing the chores, watch soap operas, and using the computer to make some money of my own..or a hobby if you want to put it that way anyway it just gives me something to do but when he comes home I am so happy to see him we've been married almost 25 years and I still miss him no mater where he is at..I suppose thats what love is...cant let go of him

I got lonely when my wife went on a trip for a week. but the first few days, I kinda enjoyed the solitude!....:-).

I only time I can say that I got lonely was when my fiance was gone for 2 weeks. He had to go over a hundred miles away to be with his father during a very important surgery. I wasn't able to go because of work. That 2 weeks seemed to drag on forever. When he is gone during the day, it doesn't bother me, I actually enjoy that time to myself. It gives me a chance to do some things that I enjoy doing alone. We don't like the same music, so it givesme a chance to listen to the stuff that I like listening to. And it gives me time to read without being interrupted. I love my fiance very much, but we have found that sometimes it is best to have our share of alone time too.

I tend to keep myself busy. I have found a few new sites that I am making pretty good money on. They take up my time and distract me from noticing that my husband is at work. :) If you want more info, please visit my profile or feel free to contact me.

i felt lonely at some point but not everytime. i will miss him for sure but i try to get myself busy so that i wont think about him coz he is at work and he needs time for it. il just make myself busy and then when time is near for him to come home then il get excited.

I think that we can miss our significant others even when they are not gone. My day is filled with looking after our two year old - not so much time to miss hubby unless our little one is more than a handful - which is most days - plus, he calls often through the day (to make sure I didn't strangle the little one?) or I call him - so that keeps us close when he is at work. My husband works all day and comes home every night. Even though we have our evenings and weekends together, they are consumed with supper, kids, chores, hobbies, projects, tv, etc. There doesn't seem to be enough "us" time even when we are together.

Yes I get lonely and I do about the same thing. I listen to music, play on the computer, watch tv, or play the playstation. When I am so bored i am playing with the dog or i am writing letter.
