Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
I'm going to call my friend PCL. PCL and I have known eachother since we were 9. Dated in our early teens. Was my first kiss and love honestly. After HS we became very close(I married my HS sweetheart at age 19 we are still together-- RRF) All through my relationship with my husband PCL and I have been friends. We have periods of time where we don't see each other for months and barely talk and then we have periods where we see each other regularly and talk at least once a week. He comes to parties we throw and is even friends with my sister so has been around my family a lot. We haven't seen each other since October and have barely spoken. My gut is telling me something else is going on. My sister saw my friend PCL work friends and sibling a few weeks ago and they made her believe that PCL has actually been in love with me for awhile and it's just becoming too painful. I have three kids with my husband. We have been together 11 years. And most of those years have been rocky. The last three times I've seen PCL I've been intoxicated or my husband and I have been fighting. I'm starting to feel like I may have said or did something to hurt him or just make him not want to be apart of my mess anymore. I emailed him five days ago catching him up on my life and asking him about his. I also expressed that I had a gut feeling that something was going on and that I know the last few times I'd seen him had been messy and I'm sorry. He hasn't replied. If he does have feelings for me I don't want to hurt him anymore than I might have already but for me I just need to know what's going on. That might seem selfish but it's really negatively impacting my mental state.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
You never said whether or PCL is in their own relationship. If so then he may have realized that he needed to step back in order to protect his own relationship.
The thing is PCL may have been your first love but there had to be a reason he wasn't your only love. I think that we look back on things like that and remember all the good times and forget why we made better friends than anything more.
I would offer this from my experience if you are missing your friend give him time to come to grips with everything and he will most likely be back. If you are missing your first love be very careful or you may lose your friend.
