I'm a 63 year old woman who looks 50, and is still attractive, married to a high-level professional who works 100 hours a week. Living in suburbia, I usually feel quite lonely, as he works on Saturdays and Sundays. When we discuss this issue, he blames me for pressuring him. We can not see each other for a week, go out to dinner, and he'll listen to talk radio in the car. Or we'll go on vacation and we'll sit on the plane for three hours and he won't talk to me - just read articles. His mother warned me when we married that he was a loner, but I didn't totally understand.<br /> Our adult child is out of the home, and may be AS due, due to the lack of phone calls I receive, in spite of my long devotion and good parenting. Although I work part-time and have many friends, the loneliness is very difficult. I give all my empathy and good wishes to you all, as only someone living through this and facing these decisions can understand how hard it is.<br />I plan to look for a group in a nearby county, as I'd like anonymity in that we are both professionals here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
