Okay I have read a few of the stories and I don't feel quite so bad as I was feeling. I have a loveing husband a very hard working son about to graduate from college but like everyone else no friends. I must admit it is more by choice. I find friends complicate my life. I prefer to shop alone. I don't have to wait for someone else to try on an outfit or stay in one place as long as they want to etc...Still life does get a little lonely. I am hesitant to go out and make friends. Suppose I decide I want to do something else or change my mind at the last minute and cancel my plans, my life just seems less complicated with aquaintances rather than constant friends. My husband feels the same way. We have each other and that is enough for now, until something happens to one of us. But I won't think about that right now.
My husband was very close to one of his nephews, there was an arguement and his nephew fabricated all sorts of lies about my husband and myself, that was disappointing to him. I wasn't too suprised, I had long since suspected his nephew was a liar and would often caution him not to confide too much in him. It turned out I was right. But my husband is the strong silent type and he rarely speaks of his feelings. I don't mind, my father was the same way.
So in closing...I am lonely but I have had friends in the past and the last couple of friends I had took up way too much of my personal time. I found myself going out of my way for people and being taken advantage of because I have a hard time saying no. Bottom line...It's just me and the old man. | |
