I am not pregnant, but I feel so all alone. My husband and youngest son is always gone hunting, this past weekend is the first wekend my husband has had off since I can't remember when, and instead of spending time with me, he went hunting. My oldest son is always with his girlfriend, and I am so alone, I do have friends, however they work alot, I can't work right now due to the illness of my mother, and according to my husbandm I can't do anything right. Please help me, I am about to go off the deep end, I can't take much more of just being a door mat for them to wipe their feet on.

I am so sorry you feel like that. You need to tell your husband that you 2 need quality/family time together. Set aside an hour a day, or a day a week that you spend on an outing, maybe a movie or a drive or anything like that. Tell him how you feel, he is your husband after all. Then tell your son you would like time together. Take him out for an icecream or pizza. Is there anything else you can do from being alone? I felt like that once and I joined groups in my church and it helped. I also read books. 7 novels in a month! The face by dean koontz in the best! I hope that helps. If you need someone to talk to, im here.

Not so lonely and almost married

What? Girlfriend, I dont know why women are always in situations like that. Having the men disrespect us like that.

Have u talked to your husband about what u wanted? Like him spending some time with you, and ur kid too.

I am more or less in that kinda situation, my long term bf is always working and going to college, and working on cars every weekend. I do go with him to work on cars, but there is really nothing I can do there except to fall asleep or watch them (though I do like working on cars too). And that's all we have done ever since I can remembered.

My good friends are out of town on vacation untill december....So....And I dont have a car (just crashed it, helping my bf), so I cant go anywhere, go see anyone, I have to even get rides from ppl at school so I can go to school.

But I do talk to my bf about it, and we compromise. So u should do the same.

Girl, no guy is worth our tears unless they are good to us. Smile I think that if ur husband tells u that u cant do anything right, sit down and have a talk with him to see why he says that, why does not not want to spend time with you, and to see whether it's ur fault or his.

I hope u the very best!!

Sweetheart, you need a break from all this. You helped me in so many way I think its high time I gave some advice back!First off I miss ya girl!!! And I think every parent (mother) goes through this at one point I remember my mom saying the same things. Dad was always working aj with his friends and my older brother out with his gf and me wherever I was. She finally decided to do something for herself instead of for everyone else. Get a new hobby, volunteer somewhere ... Mom did it at the elementary school they loved it. Go toa spa for the weekend. And last but not least : tell all those "men" to do there own work for a change. Theres no need for you to wait on them!!! Love always `misty
