no it's not stupid wanting to settle down if that is going to make you happy. i have the alone feeling continually even when i'm at one of the many huge family gatherings of my husband's family. i spend nearly half of every day alone because i don't work anymore, my daughter is in school and works afterwards,and my husband is at work until 8 pm every day. so the lonely bug stays with me. i have a lot of hobbies but even that gets old on a daily basis. i go to bed before 10 pm most nights and get up at 6am . if possible i try to avoid conversation with my husband because he irritates me to no end. so if you need someone to chat with just pm me anytime. glad to listen.
