Then, my husband comes home exhausted from work and retreats to the basement alone. Lately, his back has been bothering him so he's been sleeping downstairs alone. On the weekends (every weekend just about for the past few months), he has my 17 year old nephew spend the night both nights to help him ackomlish things. They keep to themselves, leaving me alone and usually on the couch all day Saturday too. Then Sundays we go to my mom and dad's house. That's the only day I get to spend quality time with anyone it seems. I almost kept my 5 year old son home from kindergarten today to snuggle with me all day. How terrible is that! But, oh woe is me, right?
I think it's important that you are able to take steps to alleviate some of this loneliness now that you are aware of it. You shouldn't have to feel so alone all week long and only having one day a week where you feel connected to people.

It's important for you to identify what your needs are socially and take steps to meet those needs. Do you have any girlfriends to talk to or hang out with when you feel lonely? Being lonely sucks :-(

Thanks for this!
