My husband is working out from home from Monday to Friday since 5 months ago because there are not enough jobs where we live. I am not taking this very good and we are not having a good time. At the ...

Yours is a difficult situation and cannot be helped at this moment? I wonder if there is any way you can move to where his job is now, even temporarily. If not you must adjust where you are. Can you afford a cell phone so he can call you often; hearing his voice can make a big difference. You do need friends and you are a sociable person. What activities do you like? Get involved. Do attend Church? If not, start. If you do, get involved in some small group activity in the church where you will really get to know individuals and find a friend to talk to. We all need a friend. There must be other social clubs if you are not religous. Ask around about activities. Check a paper for social activities. Don't hold back. Are you writing to him? Does he ever answer. Can't he send a card or note to you in the middle of the week? I suggest you two have a talk. Talk about how you feel and let him know you feel anger and I'm sure you both don't want to be angry and ruin your time together. Find some understanding and think of ways that would help both of you to feel better. Just sharing will help-just knowing the other cares will help. A note, a phone call, a card, flowers occasionally, something that says I am thinking of you. When he comes home, what do you do? Can you go out to dinner and maybe to a movie or some entertainment? I know money tells the story.  Anger is an issue. Don't waste time thinking about what you guess he is doing. Your mind can build up inflated ideas of what he is doing. It may not be all that you imagine. Anger is like a fire buring inside you and it hurts no one but you. It is like starting the engine of your can and putting it in neutral and reving up the engine and burning gas and letting the engine rev while you go no where. That is not good for the car's engine. That is what anger is to our bodies. Anger can be burned up as physical activity; walk, run, do exercise or sport activity.  Maybe you could join a club for such activity and find some friends there. I'm not putting you down for being angry. I understand your situation; it is understandable that you are angry. It just must be dealt with or it can make you ill. I take it very seriously. The more you and your husband talk and understand what is going on, the better. Does he have any family that could share more with you if they knew you were lonely? Reach out to people and give them a chance to respond; people are pretty nice after all. Have you spoken to your neighbors? just a kind good mornin to ya? There may be a lonely neighbor close by. The way to have a friend is to be one... An old saying that is so true. Get some letters going back to your friends and family in Spain also. You don't forsakae them just beause you moved out of the country. Make your life interesting. Do you have any hobbies of do you volunteer in any thing; there is usually something you can do. People volunteer in hospitals, nursing homes, Big Sisters (here in America), and find out if there are other people around from Spain. That is a few ideas.

Love everybody!
