How do you get through weekends alone....

All my friends are married and are busy on the weekend. Sundays are absolutely awful for me. Any suggestions? I get so lonely.

I know, weekends can totally suck if you don't have any plans!

Thanks, Nikki....I try to do some of the same things, but being alone is what kills me. No matter what I do, I feel lonely unless I'm with other people.

You know what? For 20 years or so I was alone and loved it, but since having a boyfriend it is so hard.

Are you ok with going to movies by yourself? I find going to 1 or 2 movies (in the theater, not renting them) is a great way to pass time because it gets you out of the house and in a place where you can't contact your ex! I actually went to 3 movies in a row years ago when getting over a particularly bad breakup...

Just stay away from romances!

Great idea, Sheri! I actually did this one summer day because I was on vacation and had no money to go away. I went to an afternoon matinee. Coincidentally my ex boyfriend (boyfriend at the time) couldn't take time off and gave me money to have fun with. I thought that was so sweet at the time.

That's a wonderful thing to do on a Sunday afternoon/evening.
