Married, good kids, good job, loving pet cat, yet here I sit feeling lonely. Like my life is passing me by, and I wanted to experience so much more with it. Anyone else feel lonely in a good family and marriage? Sound weird? It is but that’s how I feel sometimes, like now. In quiet times after work before everyone gets home. Just me and the cat. And echoes of regrets and youth slipping away gnawing at my soul.

Have a date night, plan a vacation. Do a weekend getaway. Sounds like you need to reignite that spark.

Sometimes with the hustle and bustle of life, the lonely feeling comes and goes bc you’re brain and body is in automatic mode. But with that being said, I also remember the times I had very little and was struggling. I appreciate life more so now. Plus I had a period in life to where I got all the partying and such out of my system before remarriage.
I suggest you don’t let those negative feelings fester and linger. They’ll start to eat at you if you do.
What in particular do you want to experience that you could/couldn’t do now?
I have. I opened it up to my husband. We made some changes and compromises. It’s better now.
Do what scares you?
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
What have you always wanted to try?
Please don’t blow your life up when all you needed was Spanish classes and open mic stand-up comedy.
