Married and lonely

I recently became a stay home mom who does not socialise and have any friends. My husband works non stop. When he’s home, he’s either sleeping, watching his movie, talking to friends over phone or meeting friends. Only time with me would be sleeping in same room. We would occasionally watch movie together when kids are asleep but he will be focused on it that he’d ignore me talking. Ive had to beg for his time. I am starting to feel very lonely. Ive told him abt it and still the same. What should i do? I am so lonely that sometimes i feel like chatting with some strangers online to overcome boredom.

Most men are like that. When they get married, they become complacent. Maybe he is not interested in communicating with you, talking about responsibilities, kids, finances, etc. Maybe he is just worried he would be over-stressed and cause you even more stress. Maybe he thinks, what else do you want? Let you be SAHM also want to make noise. I’m telling you, most men are wired that way. They think we are emotionless robots. You can try spice things up once a week, tell him in advance of your plans. Probably leave the kids with a trusted family member for a few hours while you go on a date. Have some sexy-time if you don’t wanna go out. Wear something nice, cook his favourite food or order in. Maybe go out for a pedicure together or a couple massage? Maybe he feels bored, unloved and is secretly yearning your attention but just don’t wanna show it. Instead he does the opposite by distancing himself. You can even plan for a secret getaway, or a staycation, tell him in advance you’d like him to free up a couple of days because you have a little surprise. No harm in being the “man” in the relationship once a while. Sending you lots of love and positivity for a healthy marriage! 💙❤️

I really think that where the heart is , there the time shall be. whether a husband or not , u need to care for yourself and your wellbeing, never take yourself for granted. I am not confident to be faithful to the well being of another human, so in a way , I also cannot expect the same for others. so if you want to move back into work , do so . If u want to be stay home mum, do so and find a community of mothers , pick up culinary classes if you like , revamp the house if u like for your hubby, it's not going to work out ling term, so work out an arrangement if he just so happens to be bus during this period. e.g. bi weekly Mondays are dating. every Friday night is family movie night

I'm sorry this is happening to you. Must be hard..how could he do this to you😔 This happened to me way before pregnancy. I asked for divorce a few times but thank God he has changed into a way better man. :") Talk to him again, don't give up. If i can suggest, make an instagram account for motherhood? Share your experiences, what to do or not to do during pregnancy etc. That's how you hopefully can make friends! Or find a hobby/interest that you can do at home and then share on social media. Many said social media life is fake, but it does help and if you're lucky, you'll meet genuine people. I did.❤

I think you should establish your own friends too. May be arrange kids for play date with other parents and you can mingle with other moms. Or join some classes from cc and you will find some friends of same interest. Or try visit your relatives. For relationship with husband, find a good day to talk about how you feel.

I’m sorry mama, I really hope things get better. do persistently try to communicate with your partner about your feelings. And perhaps even give some distance to pull him closer, cook some of his favorites and maybe even plan a holiday if possible. Men are not much of planners, so help him give you more time!

hi mommy. I'm so sorry you're feeling this. it is best to communicate to your husband what you're feeling and try to understand how you can both solve the situation. maybe you can also start to find some friends outside and share your interests with.

maybe you can consider to take some courses, volunteer work, read or pick up an interest? Be careful if you want to chat online.

same goes to me until one day i ask my husband a divorce but den he did change only for awhile until i give up...

divorce if u have the capability to move on to look for another relationship

you can chat online if you wish
