I also had a wonderful career which I absolutely loved and it kept me busy enough to feel content and I guess you can say "not so lonely." My husband has/had a substance abuse problem and I willingly married him hoping that love alone would/could save him. Well, it didn't and I'm still not sure if it doesn't. However, when I lost my job, I was able to see what he did ALL day long while I worked (10-12 hrs) per day... he did nothing. I couldn't believe that he sat alone day after day focusing on his dependency. He didn't care about me or show me any feelings or love. He consistantly ignored me and when I brought up my feelings of lonliness, he blamed me for having my own life w/great career. Now, the shoe is on the other foot~ I moved back to my Mom's (who is wonderful and is very concerned for me). I get disturbed for her trying to make my life better everyday and enabling me and my own laziness; including a daily self-pity-party). It breaks my heart to see how my life has hurt her. Instead of focusing on being lonely due to my husband's lack of care or regard for me (he has a very wealthy family and they support and enable his habits and behaviors)~ I shall stay focused on your "blog" and thank God for the memories I've had with my so-called husband and perhaps it's best to move on. I shall also appreciate and THANK GOD that I should not feel so lonely when I have such a BEAUTIFUL MOTHER who is here, trying to do everything in her strength (including prayer and candles) to see her once-happy and loving daughter come back to life as soon as possible. Thank you Carol. I truly appreciate your sharing and perception of that scene of "why do people marry and loneliness. Your solution is one that I shall take to heart. Sincerely, Amy Dear Carol,

I am new to this “5 minute miracle” and I went straight to the “marriage/family” link due to my loneliness I feel from my new husband (we married Oct 13th, 2007 and recently separated late June). I also had a wonderful career which I absolutely loved and it kept me busy enough to feel content and I guess you can say “not so lonely.”

My husband has/had a substance abuse problem and I willingly married him hoping that love alone would/could save him. Well, it didn’t and I’m still not sure if it doesn’t. However, when I lost my job, I was able to see what he did ALL day long while I worked (10-12 hrs) per day… he did nothing. I couldn’t believe that he sat alone day after day focusing on his dependency.

He didn’t care about me or show me any feelings or love. He consistantly ignored me and when I brought up my feelings of lonliness, he blamed me for having my own life w/great career.

Now, the shoe is on the other foot~ I moved back to my Mom’s (who is wonderful and is very concerned for me). I get disturbed for her trying to make my life better everyday and enabling me and my own laziness; including a daily self-pity-party). It breaks my heart to see how my life has hurt her. Instead of focusing on being lonely due to my husband’s lack of care or regard for me (he has a very wealthy family and they support and enable his habits and behaviors)~

I shall stay focused on your “blog” and thank God for the memories I’ve had with my so-called husband and perhaps it’s best to move on.

I shall also appreciate and THANK GOD that I should not feel so lonely when I have such a BEAUTIFUL MOTHER who is here, trying to do everything in her strength (including prayer and candles) to see her once-happy and loving daughter come back to life as soon as possible.

Thank you Carol. I truly appreciate your sharing and perception of that scene of “why do people marry and loneliness. Your solution is one that I shall take to heart.

Sincerely, Amy

The older I become the more I realize how special all of our family and friends become. As well, as time races on, so do our lifes. I liked the idea of the memory box. We can be all alone, but, sometimes forget all the special moments that we have been so blessed to have shared. Thank you, Lori Yes, I can relate to this article as well as millions of others.
