I Am Lonely

Anyone else feel like marriage has been the loneliest time of their life? We have 4 incredible kids at home so I don’t feel like leaving is an option right now, but I miss feeling important to someone. Tomorrow is our 9 year anniversary and he doesn’t want to do anything. What sucks is I’m actually a pretty awesome person- endlessly selfless towards him, pretty great mom, entrepreneur, funny, intelligent... yet he can’t stop watching YouTube long enough to notice me. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Lonely, party of 1 🎉

So sorry to hear this honey. But unfortunately, a lot of people are lonely in marriage. My husband's life revolves around his dog. He shares a bedroom with his dog, focuses on his dog during meals, can't wait to get home to his dog when he's been away, etc. I started finding my own hobbies and making my own friends. I check the websites and papers every week for community activities to participate in. Since you have kids you can take them places and make memories with them.

Otherwise, you can attempt to draw your husband closer. Surprise him with candlelit dinner or fruit and cheese plate and wine, movie night, etc.
