Another lonely night. I wish I had someone close to talk to. My wife's asleep so I can't talk to her.

Happily ever after? It only happens in fairy tales.

Some nights I'm so lonely it feels that I haven't a friend in the world. I hug my pillow because R is already conked out, and M is between her and I. I mention it to R and she responds, "Everyone gets lonely sometimes."

The happiest I've ever felt is when I'm in the arms of a loved one, and vice versa.

Sarcasm hurts like paper cuts. It's like being patted on the back by someone with a joy buzzer. I don't get the humor; all I get is the hurt. And I'm tired of hurting, and tired of being hurt.

In the meantime, someone's gone and tattooed the words "Kick Me" on my back.

Some days I feel like a stray cat who's been kicked too many times by people. I want lovies and pets (and food), but I'm afraid to approach people lest I be kicked again.

Maybe that's why I isolate myself, and surround myself with inanimate things instead of people.

And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries.

You JUST NOW realized that happily ever after was a myth?

You aren't the only one who feels a wall between yourself and your spouse. Those walls exist for all kinds of reasons and lucky is the couple who only have walls made of thin plaster instead of brick. The best you can do is keep looking for those windows and get those suckers unlocked in whatever way you can. You aren't alone - you never were. We, your friends, may not be there with you physically, but we are always there in spirit and in need for you to help US with OUR loneliness, too. I know it's little comfort when you want/need/crave physical contact. But work for what you want, even if it means compromising more than you are comfortable with. You know what you need to do in order to get what you want - the question is, are you willing to do what it takes?

Been there, done that, got the footprints on my Tee Shirt and the legal papers on file. I regret that I never went for any sort of councelly thingy when it was on the table (mostly as a threat, if she didn't get her way on a delicate issue, so I didn't see it as something that could be good) and by the time it occured to me that it could be a good thing, it was off the table.

Sometimes your SO can't "be there" for you, so it helps to have a pet. It's much easier to get attention from an attention-hungry dog.

*hugs him*
I wish I knew what to say that would be even somewhat comforting. Doubt this means much, but if you ever have a night like this again, and want to chat, IM me because I am always around late night and such. Be well *hugs again*


P.S. on a totally unrelated note, are you going to the Bis picnic tomorrow?

Depression

If you are suffering from true depression then the only cure is therapy and meds. A good psychatrist is a godsend and the right meds make the sun shine brighter.

If you really feel your spouse doesn't understand you, get in a couple of sessions of marriage counseling. Not because anything is truly wrong, but because you feel there are some things you want to talk about and can't.

Good idea not to wake up your sleeping S/O. Inconsiderat at best and fight material at worst. No one needs another reason to fight.
