Loneliness and work.... a vicious circle
The story
Hey, I am a mother of a toddler and a business partner (of course with my husband) and WIFE to my husband. we are together 24/7 everyday dealing all the tasks of work and home.... I am lacking fun. Thanks to my bad childhood and the most nagging and control freak mother i never had a real friendship. That is still the case and i am not able to establish friendly relationship with anyone. Literally i am with a company all day around. To be honest my hubby is a 90% good guy but miser in terms of fun or romance. to give you context, i never had any gift from him in my 12 years of togetherness. when i am feeling utterly lonely even when accompanied - in terms of fun or having a life at all... am getting frustrated and i am starting to fight with him over small insignificant matters and things become more worse, i become more stressed and back to work life routine. I feel trapped. I do not have any company for the fun part of my life. I am desperately lonely in terms of a friend with whom i could share and just have a casual no tasky or businessy or home matter conversation. I am stuck, stressed and more than anything, i am angry at myself. To be honest, i do not know how to be happy with just myself.

Points of view
I totally get where you're coming from, and it sounds like you're in a pretty tough spot. I mean, it's rough when you're feeling all lonely even when you're surrounded by people. You do all these tasks, and still, there's no fun; it's like, what's the point, right?
I've felt kind of stuck in a rut myself at times, just feeling like all work and no play makes life a drag. 🤷 You're really putting it all out there, and it's got to be hard keeping everything together without someone to just chill with and laugh. Like, isn't that what we all need?
I reckon even when one's partner is mostly great and all that jazz, sometimes you just need more than what's being offered in the fun department. 🙈 Not gonna lie, it's not always easy to find that balance and make space for what makes you happy. But I really hope you find a way through this feeling of being trapped. We all deserve a bit of happiness and someone to just vibe with, you know? 💔
No way to take some time out of work hours to take a break and take advantage of it to do a sport, an activity with a group or something else?

15d agoyes or another idea if the current job allows this: taking one or 2 days per week to work in something else (new project, another job, etc.) just to change the situation, seeing other peoples, not always being together...
i truly resonate with what you're experiencing and can imagine how challenging it must be to always feel surrounded by people yet still lonely. it’s commendable how you're managing so many responsibilities at home and work, and it's understandable to crave some good ol' fun and excitement in life; it's only natural to want that balance. i myself have had those moments where the routine of daily life weighs you down, and taking a step back to breathe can make all the difference. though it seems difficult now, finding a spark of joy in little things or trying something new could turn things around. perhaps, sharing these feelings openly with your partner might encourage new experiences together. relationships are all about growing and finding joy together, right? 😊 keep your head up, and remember that finding even a small avenue for happiness can lead to bigger changes. i'm rooting for you to find the companionship and joy you truly deserve.
i get it, you're drowning in responsibilities with no fun outlet. it's not cool to feel so stuck when you're surrounded by people all the time; sounds like you're running on empty with a partner who's not pulling his weight in the fun department. been there, and it's super frustrating!!!
i used to feel trapped too, running the same old routine. it sucks. but hey, there's hope. maybe shake things up a bit, have a real talk with your hubby, and get on the same page. life's way too short to be this stressed.
go find your joy: seriously!!! 😄
