It may sound silly, but I'm lonely. My fiancee is out of town for a few weeks and I'm just plain lonely. I'm trying to keep myself busy. I have lots of work to do (I'm a teacher and a graduate student), but I'm still unavoidably...lonely. How many times can you use the word lonely in one question? I'm just wondering if there are any other lonely people out there and what do you do when you're waiting for your friends/family/significant others to come back?

No reason to get antagonistic or defensive sweetlilblonde31 who's apparently not so sweet. Yes I'm a teacher. Yes, I have lots to do. I keep myself quite busy. And yes, my fiancee and I have been apart for several years before as well. We grew up together and the paths we took in life made it so that we have spent several years apart. It's never gotten easier to deal with. You don't need to get angry and mean simply because you miss your husband. Well, I miss mine too. Doesn't matter if he's gone for a few weeks, a few months, or a few years. It's always hard. If you're not on this site to be kind and help people, then what are you doing?
Get off your soapbox.

By doing **** like this.
But also you can give yourself something to look forward too - like seeing him again. You can work out, shop for a new outfit to pick him up in, get your hair done to surprise him, nails done etc... etc... look forward to hium coming home :)

I hear ya sister!
To pass the time, I hit the gym, read celebrity gossip magazines, watch a ton of HGTV, go to the mall (even if I don't end up buying anything).
Do you have a MySpace account? Sounds stupid, but I've really gotten into it and it's quite fun reconnecting with old friends.
Call an old friend and chat for a while. That always helps too :)

Please understand that loneliness is a state of mind that creates emotions of feeling lonely. Once you are aware of how your mind is thinking, try not to encourage that thought to continue. Then look around you for things that are interesting to you and try them. I can sometimes just sit still and do nothing. Think of nothing and just relax or just write something about your past, you may find some really funny things that you don't get time to reflect. Relying on your fiancee to feel that emotion might put you in a dependency state of mind ( without him I can't......). Know what I mean. Good Luck

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire 'til dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do.
You may be lonely, but you're really not so alone or there wouldn't be so many songs written on the subject. Lighten up. There're better days ahead.

Your fiance is out of town for a few weeks and you're lonely?? My husband is gone for a year at a time getting shot at in Iraq and you b*tch about being lonely, you don't know what lonely really is.
You're a teacher and you can't come up with anything to do?
Try this, go out shopping, go out with a girlfriend to dinner, write to your man in a notebook for him to read when he gets home, read a good book, you get the picture.
try thinking a few weeks is nothing compared to a lifetime together. My husband has been deployed over half our marriage more then three years out of our 7 together. most of those were year long deployments, it is really nothing compared to our life together.

You stay busy and keep in contact with your fiancee. If you have time to spare go see a girlfriend or get a hobby.

Start a new hobby and try to keep yourself busy to forget about the passing time. Go shopping, to a craft store ext.

GO OUT. lol. It's fine if you go out and have good time and socialize with people you don't know. You could try going to Bingo, take up a new hobby, or get a membership at the gym.

I log on to this Yahoo Answers website, call my friends or relatives, read books, watch TV, watch movies, listen to music, go shopping, cook or go out to eat, sit outside, lay around and do nothing, lay around thinking about STUFF, lay around wishing I wasn't lonely...
