Speaking from my own experience, I can relate to, as someone who changed environment. Everything that was familiar to me, including friends, restaurants, cashiers, stores, paths and came to something fully unfamiliar knowing just one person. No matter how hard you try to fit in - you just pop out, the more we are older it's more harder to get involved in something that has already been built ( meaning on people around you who know each other since childhood).
Luckily I'm not social butterfly, even tho that kind of depression hits me here and there, longing will always be part of me. Support from that ONE familiar and close person can help a lot in those moments.
Oh honey I feel ya. I lived in the UK for five years and used to get soooo homesick. I didn't really miss friends though as most fell by the wayside as they thought i was irresponsible moving to the other side of the world with a 4 year old - judgey much?
There's people who've never left this town and they have big friendship groups and are happy. Yet us with wanderlust, we're kinda alone. It sounds like you are quite like my husband. I feel so much for him but at the same time I can't seem to do anything to help, apart from be his best mate, which is hard when I dont want to talk about cars bahahaha....
Woah, really?
Can't find a single one good reason why should anyone be judged while making decision about it's own life.
Friends are meant to be supporters, but seems they weren't some after all, nothing to be sorry for.
I lived for a long time alone, that helped me to learn how to keep myself a good company, nowdays it's very useful as I can not pull my dear darlings sleeve whole day around (sometimes I do heh).
It's more that inner feeling, hard to explain, it comes in waves and leaves fast. Learning to give everything time, right people will find me again.
Make your hubby to join some car club online or in person, you'll have more time to spend in your room. :p
