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.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
