I think it is difficult for all of us. (Do you find yourself talking to the animals LOL)? It must be especially difficult for you living in the country, nobody is around, not even the clerk at the convenience store. You would have to drive a few miles just to see a human being.
I work so I do get to see people during the day but in the evenings I am alone and usually spending it here on DH or reading or watching TV.

Been there...Sucks
Try to find some thing of interest where your around other people, a club, class or sport. Volunteer work is also a option that won't cost a lot of money.
Just a few suggestions. Hope it helps.

I handle it because I put myself fully into my pop music busines.
The nights are the worst.Having had a great marriage it makes it worst when you
have to put your wife in an alzheimers home and know she is there but never coming back or even knowing you. Truth is you need to be with an understanding person.Sounds easy but it is not.The thing is your married but in name only.

My heart goes out to you Moses...That must be so difficult, & many people won't understand that you still need companionship & although technically still married, your living a single life. Maybe a support group would be helpful to you.

Music is so soothing to the soul, especially when it is troubled. I find painting is a wonderful way to pass the time. A lot of concentration goes into a piece and the world is forgotten for a time.

Sorry Badgirl, That may not be a feasible solution. Did I say that gently enough.
We don't know their specific circumstances, and She may be quite happy where she is.

been in the same situation living in the country alone and know exactly how it feels. The animals mine were horses kept me form really getting out much and now that I don't have them I am not sure of myself when I meet single women. Guess I lost that knowledge of being around them cause of being attached so long and then living alone so long as well. But life goes on regardless of our situations and hope that you and other lonely people, which I think there are many just open up and let life happen. I am trying but still it is awkward. Feel like we all get so set in our ways and compare new people to the past that we never give ourselves a real chance/ It is a hard road but change is happening with me.

I keep busy with playing with a band, volunteer for charity work, teach music, sewing projects, online studies, working out, and lately doing renos. There lots of community groups out in the country that you could join. Good luck to you.

Well - if I had my garden I'd be pretty absorbed but that used to take up a lot of my time after work. I had the kids but they grew up. And I did volunteer for a bit, joined a choir group, painted kids faces at the farmers market. It changes. Right now I work at night and attend school online. In between I try to increase my hobbies and interests. I took a quilting course (about 6 weeks) a number of years ago so I can start quilting projects when I'm bored. When I'm lonely I need people. I chat online, hook up with friends, keep in touch with my kids and their lives, and I try new things and meet new people. Church. Just getting out to be around people. I dont have to be sitting with them, but near by helps. LIke I go to movies, or out for a beer and people watch, sit at a mall and have a cookie and just browsing.
When I lived on a farm, it was tough. I had to get into town.

I spend most of my weekends alone.I listen to a lot of music,drink my coffee and go for rides somewhere,just to get out of the house.If anybody,living fairly close by (approx within 100 km) would like to join me or wouldn't mind,if I come out there(in the country)...that would be awesome

Hey, there is about 300,007,738 people who live in the U.S., and I always ask that question. I have lived alone when I was 18 to 22, but most my life I have always lived with someone, but now I've lived on my own for the past 6 months.
I keep busy painting my home. Tonight I seen 3 carpenter ants, and 2 spiders, so I sprayed the house with bug spray, I don't smell it, I hope it doesn't make me sick!
Today I walked to the local library for lunch, they had pamplets on city activities. Thinking about indoor swimming, going back to college, something to do when I'm done painting, mybe another part time job - if I can find one?
It's amazing, out of all those people in the U.S., I can't seem to find a suitible mate?
I am very interverted with or without someone, but it's lonely here in Michigan too.
