Cassandra92 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I am currently living in a flat with three friends, all girls, who I have known for years. I moved to a different city to study but also so I could live with them, which they encouraged me to do. But sometimes I feel very lonely because they all have boyfriends, and all of their free time is devoted to them, especially on weekends. If I have nothing else to do I find myself really noticing the fact that I have no family here and it can get me quite down. I understand what it is like to have a boyfriend who you love, but it feels like during the week we are all busy with uni and then on weekends they are all busy with their significant others. I wish we could spend more time together as they are my best friends. They know I have been struggling with the move and adjusting to a new situation, and they know I feel very alone sometimes. I am involved with somebody back home, but they aren't here and I just feel like an extra wheel when they all have their boyfriends over, even those most of them are nice guys who I get along with. Basically, living with them is not what I thought it would be and probably not what I thought I needed. Sometimes I will go two days without really talking to any of them because they are all so wrapped up in their boyfriends, and it makes me very sad. I have tried talking to them about it but I think I just come across as bitter, and they don't really understand. I am happy for them, of course I am, but it's just making me feel so lonely and I don't really know what to do about it. Any thoughts?
