Feeling lonely

My boyfriend moved out because his smoking was affecting my asthma. So now I live alone and I get lonely. I've only ever lived alone a couple of times for short periods because i've always been in a relationship. I have hobbies I can do so things to pass the time. But I haven't got any friends just him and family. It's the silence that drives me insane. I've got no-one to talk to. He is in sheltered accomodation and so has the other residents to talk to in the communal garden and sitting room. He has more of a life than I do. I feel annoyed because he chose smoking over me. He gets to have fun whilst I am just left here alone. It just doesn't seem fair because i've done so much for him. I looked after him whilst he was sick and everything. I just needed to come here and vent 馃槱

Interesting he found it easier to give youjup rather than the cigs. Folks have no idea how the tobacco companies 'enhance' cigs to help increase the addiction...

Still, it can be done. My own mother stopped cold turkey after 20+ years. Cancer still killed her 25 years later.

@Neoerectus yes he's had a partial left leg amputation due to being borderline diabetic and a smoker. If he continues to smoke he could lose the other leg he also has COPD. But he wont quit.

@RubiesandButterflies My oldest bro first lost both legs from ignored diabetes. He had all sorts of issues before dying at about 62.

It might be a blessing he left... My bro ended up in a care facility in last years.

@Neoerectus im scared I have anxiety and he takes me to the places I'm too scared to go alone to like appointments that are on the other side of town.

@RubiesandButterflies Our neighbor has suffered similarly after she escaped years of horrific abuse. We have helped AND she has been venturing forth more and more.
