Welcome to the board Karen,
Do you not have close any friends developed from your church? That seems like a good place to make some strong friendships.

I have the very same relationship w/my husband....I have never felt this lonely..
He stays up all night. And I sleep..I feel that he is living to avoid me and to get
to his next deployment. I feel more lonely now than anytime that he has been
away. I find myself sinking. He says that I pester him to spend time w/me...but,
how else can i get him to talk to me...I try to be civil..I try to be logical...but,
he always ends up telling me there is nothing wrong w/US...and talking about it
makes him tell me I am CRAZY...he won't leave the house except to go to PT
and he is waiting for his next deployment to get here...I have tried to leave and
he drags me back, by telling me that noone will want me..I have Lupus....and that
I'm useless.....
What do we as women do? Should We leave or stay in a misery?
Welcome to the board karen_dn2066,
I agree with looking into finding friends at your church. Maybe start a group of some kind - bible study or even a bowling team or book club.
Another suggestion -- you do not need to find all of your friends together. Perhaps you like quilting or knitting or want to learn another language? Take a class! My mother went back to school in her 40s, stayed into her 70s, and has a huge variety of friends of various ages from doing that. Some of them became friends of her and my father (although he is pretty introverted, so that is less common) and some just of hers, and that is fine. My father has a handful of friends he made playing in the senior softball leagues.
