How can I be so alone in a house full of people?

Even though I am still married, and he claims that he still lives here, I feel alone all of the time. My children keep me company during the afternoon and evening, but I need to have a friend/compainion for me. Some days I cant remember if I have even spoken out loud. I tried talking to myself for awhile but that seemed to be upsetting to the children. I feel as if I go to bed alone, sleep alone, wake up....alone. How is it that I feel so totally lost and incomplete and he doesn't see the problem?

I feel the same way sometimes. How old are your children? Sometimes I will do silly and stupid things around the house just to make them laugh. My husband is gone from about 9 in the morning till sometimes 8-9 at night and talking to people other than kids is great for all I believe. Do you have a pet? Or plants? I talk to both of them.

I feel the same way. My husband's mother spoiled her kids and made them so terrified of everything that my husband is scared to do anything but his own hobbies. He doesn't seem to realize he is doing more damage to me and the kids by neglecting us than he could have actually being involved in what we do. He seems so self centered sometimes yet I know in his heart he is a ggod man. I feel so alone in this marriage and have tried talking to him about it but he seems to just make a joke about it and says"life's not that bad is it?" I know some women have it way worse than I do but that doesn't stop me from being lonely.

I was on the opposite side of the coin, neglectful, self-centered, thoughtless. My wife finally got fed up and left me for it. I have since realized my error, and, ironically, I am much more involved in my kids' lives than I ever was when we lived in the same house.

I'm not saying that leaving would be a good thing, but I do think he needs to have a wake-up call of some kind.

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
