Feeling lonely

-or- lack of adult interaction

Published on March 18, 2006 By BlueDev In Misc

I am feeling quite lonely

Three days now that my wife has been gone. In the past, this has happened when I was in the middle of a busy rotation. So I was at school all day, too tired when I came home to really even notice. Sleep a couple of hours and then run all day at the hospital. No time to feel lonely.

Not this time. This time, since I have the girls with me still, I have had to take some time off of school. Just me and the girls. We have had fun, heading to the park, went out to eat last night at the ultra-cheap pizza buffett (they love it!), watched a movie last night with the oldest (almost 7-we watched Ella Enchanted).

But I am sorely missing adult interaction and most of all my sweet wife. That is probably why I have been spamming JU with articles the past few days. I look forward to my wife being back home.

It is a decent idea Trudy. I would perhaps do so if she regularly read my blog. But something of that nature is just a tad too personal for me to feel comfortable posting (even though In know I have shared personal things before).

you don't have to post it, actually writing it out and giving it to her would be sweet and is more what I was thinking, just didn't clarify that.

How old is your oldest? Seriously. I think it is time you started talking to them as an adult. You may be pleasantly surprised. Knowing you through your writings, I suspect your oldest is very wise beyond their years, and a worthy opponent for adult conversation.

Oh, we do. In fact, my wife used to tease me because I talked to all of our children like adults. It is just one of the ways I parent. (The oldest will be 7 in May BTW).

But while talking to your children like they are adults is great, it is still no substitute for actual adult conversation and interaction. It is a lot of fun, but just not the same. There are things that a 6-7 year old just doesn't have the knowledge or maturity to discuss. Or even the sufficiently developed sense of humor.

I can relate, totally.

Being only with Kole, I typically go from work where I speak to at least 80 strangers a day, and then straight to her, for the next 12 hours or so. And while she and I have a great relationship, there are some things that you just can't share. I'm not so much lonely, as just often aching to speak to real, live adult.

Hope you get to see her soon.

Awwww, how romanticly nice, that you miss her so much, even after so many years of marriage. I find that to be the ultimate thing in a marriage, especially after being together for a while. That's so sweet! {that's the female in me awing and cooing!

!)

So when she comes back give her a nice surprise, like the house being spotless or something. My hubby usually does that for me and it always made me feel so good to see he cared so much.

Working on all the laundry right now. Don't know if I will have time to clean the whole place, but I am trying.
