I have no one within 3000 miles | | Posted by anonymous at May 2, 2012 | | Tags: Loneliness 2012 May |
I moved 3000 miles from all of my friends and family to be with fiancee who is military. I sold my car, quit my job, packed everything I could fit into several suitcases and hopped on a plane to try and start over in a new city. A better life or so I thought. Since I have no vehicle out here I can't go anywhere really unless I take his car. I have sent my resume out over 125 times but have had no luck in the job market. I don't know anyone but my fiancee here and to make matters worse I'm almost 8 months pregnant. Combine the pregnancy horomomes with the constant feeling of being alone and you have tears...lots and lots of tears. My fiancee is great but he works most of the day and is too tired to do anything by the time rush hour traffic let's him get home. By then I'm starved for human interaction. I feel like a puppy that is locked in the bathroom while ur away from home. The excitement to even see and talk to someone. Granted I do keep in touch with all my people from back home but talking on the phone just isn't the same. It's hard to enjoy being pregnant and having the baby when I feel so miserable all the time. I was so desperate to find a friend that I put an ad on Craiglist. I've never had this much trouble meeting new people. I've never been so alone before. | |

your not alone. youll never be alone. you have a baby which is great, and a loving husband. when he is and you feel alone just think of some happy memories of u and him. also find a hobby. somthing you can do while he is gone. your life isnt that bad. its actully better then most people. you should be happy.
You and I are kindred spirits, although our stories aren't exactly alike, I know the feeling of moving and basically starting over.
I was born and raised in Nevada and moved to Michigan to be with my then girlfriend (now wife). The transition was terrible. The weather sucks, the people are uptight and can't drive to save their lives, Detroit is a cess pool.
When i was at my worst and ready to leave it all, I took a step back and examined the situation. I was with a person I really loved, dispite everything we are happy, I get along with her family, we live in a safe area, we have our health.
In time, the friends came. I met more and more people (mostly through my wife) and I realized that not everything was as bleak as I thought they were.
In a few months you're going to have your hands full. Since you didn't say anything bad about your husband, I assume that he is a good man who loves you.
Take heart in this. You have what some never get, the situation may not be ideal...but love is not easy.
