Long time military, married (16 yrs) w/ 4 kids (ages 10 to 23). I love Star Wars and photography (I love pinup). I've never made "life long friends", in fact, I would say I only have 1 and that has been in the last year. For most of my life I have felt pretty much invisible. People don't know me, don't remember me, I am easily forgotten. Being married has made my loneliness worse. Is it sad that I am envious of the affection she shows her cat, but does not show to me? I moved out last January, moved back in May, right before I left for deployment. Unsure what the future will hold.
Why do I make up conversations and scenarios in my head that will never happen in reality...
