  • I'm very lonely right now. And I would happily give up living alone to have someone to come home to who I truly truly adore.

    Although that 2 bedrooms thing sounds like a nice way of keeping some independence, which I cherish even when I am in a relationship.

    That's the key. I'm incredibly lonely right now. Nothing to do at weekends, friends that are too busy for me and feeling very unpopular and ugly at the moment. I would gladly give up what I have for someone that I adore that also does me.

    I know it's not nice, but it actually helps that other people are in the same boat. I wish i could meet up with all you lot but I live nowhere near Manchester :rolleyes:

    By far the hardest thing about being in Oz has been the loneliness, I have become quite friendly with 3-4 people but I see them for drinks maybe once a month so I'm effectively on my own 24hrs a day as my office isn't very friendly. I'd love to be able to come home and cuddle up to someone, just having a female flatmate would be awesome!

    your right were all in the same boat, I live in Yorkshire and I finish for Christmas next Tuesday and have nearly 2 weeks off, so if you want to do something over the hols give me a shout, and i don't mind driving, it'll make a change to do something different, go somewhere new, does anyone else want to join in?

    Thats what it comes down to I suppose. My memories of living with someone are of constantly being criticised.

    It's difficult to adore someone who doesn't have a good word to say about you & makes sure you know it 24x7.

    When I lived in Oz (Perth/Fremantle) I found there was a large group of fellow ex-pat Sunderland fans who used to meet & socilaise regularly. Have you had a look around to see if theres any ex-pat groups for anything you're interested in?

    Would love to but I'm on-call until New Year :sad: . I have to be within an hours drive of work.

    surely it wasn't like that all the time? are there not a few happy memories in there if you delve really deeply? Try and remember the good stuff too - assuming there is some.

    Hi guys,

    you lot can really talk, it's taken ages to read back through the thread :eek:

    There seem to have been some ups & downs so big old :grouphug: to everyone in need :D .

    The week end was sadly nowhere near as exciting as the previous one. I drove in the slashing rain & through puddles that washed over the bonnet so my poor car needs a good clean. I also managed to pick up a chip on the windscreen :mad: but nice autoglass man came today & worked his magic thankfully so no charge :D .

    The film was both dire & dull. It was absolutely abominable to be honest, luckily I didnt pay. No passion or rampant stuff (thanks mother nature) but it was fun to get out & not have to worry about coming home til the early hours & we did have fun. Pretty sure I dont want to pursue though.

    Remember a while back we were chatting about facebook & I said I stayed off it to avoid certain people ? Well, the one person in the world I was hoping to avoid for ever has requested contact with someone close to me & I am completely rattled. We've had no contact for 8 years & I had finally shaken off all the fear & anxiety & learnt to feel comfortable in my home & surroundings again & now I'm just on tenterhooks waiting to see if he's going to pursue matters or just fade away again.

    It's doing wonders for the weight loss though :rolleyes:
