Hi
I'm Jim, I am 49 years old married with children, only one left at home. Yea, I know I shouldn't feel lonely but I do.
When I was a kid I always had plenty of freinds. When I got older I had less and less time for freindships out side of my family. That was fine at the time.
In recent years, as the kids have been getting old enough to move out to start their lives I have started to feel more and more lonley.
I am finding that my wife and I have less to connect with. She has only had to work part time occasionaley and finds maintaining friendships easy.
It is strange that I could be in a house full of people but still find myself feeling lonley. But I do, often.
I also know that many people would look at my life and consider me lucky. I guess I feel a little guilty about feeling as alone as I do.
Yea, that sounds as pathetic to me as it dose to you.
How sad is that?
Anyway, I stumbled onto this forum and decided to give it a go.
That's me.
Jim
