The Loneliness

[LuvMy4Babes]

My DH and I separated 6 weeks ago but he only moved out of the family home 4 days ago.

I had no idea I would feel this lonely!

During the day it's okay because my youngest is home with me 3 weekdays out of the 5, then weekends mostly I still have my older kids around and my Mum visits every Saturday.

But at night when the kids are all down (usually by 8.30pm) is when I feel soooo incredibly lonely.

Now I realise it's only been 4 days, am I expecting too much too soon?

When will I get over feeling so alone?

Any advice, thoughts would be so much appreciated. Thanks ladies :)

I reckon the evenings are the worst. It is very hard sometimes to be alone. I try to keep busy, or phone friends. I also have a close friend who visits often.

Hang in there! You'll get more used to it. It's all been so recent for you. But yes, I agree that that time of the day is tough.

:hugs:I don't know when it will get better for you, but it will sometime, 4 days is really soon, of course you are feeling lonely.

Incidentally I've been separated 6 weeks as well, something in the water??

Take care :flowerz:

I dunno if the loneliness goes in time.. :confused: Ive been with dh for 5 1/2 years and couldnt imagine not havig him here..

I'd agree it does take a while for the lonliness to subside. In my case I was on my own at night most nights because my ex was in another part of the house watching porn. We'd stopped sleeping in the same bed as soon as I found out I was pregnant so it wasn't so difficult for me in the beginning.
