Very odd.. OM came by today and I just kind of shrugged him off.. I was disinterested in talking to him at all...I suppose it could be a good thing.. I still feel lonely, but some part of me realizes that talking and being close to him isn't the brightest of ideas, and my emotions are quickly agreeing with me on that... but I still feel lost without anyone to talk to about my problems.. how do i go about finding a close friend to talk to without falling into another EA?

I wrote a little bit on the end of your other thread, I don't know if were able to see it.
Your other thread

The bottom line is that your H should be that friend. My W and I are best friends, but we didn't always feel that way about each other. We used HNHN to get to where we are now.

I realize he won't read it, but I suspect if he got help for his addiction ( games) that he could become the H you want and need. Wouldn't that be the best solution to your trouble?

I want to ask how you are right now ( how you are feeling emotionally), but since you are here looking for an answer on how to find a friend, you are probably looking for needs to be met, and feeling lonely and unloved.

Do you have female friends, or sisters that you could confide in for a time until you get your H back?

Please continue to come back and tell us how you are feeling, we can't take the place of a good realtionship with H, but we will try and help any way we can.

Also-

Isn't that what this forum is for? When you want to talk about stuff, but don't really want to get emotionally attached to the party your sharing with.....

I agree, turn to H 1st. When all else fails, turn here.

Well, I guess I'm doing alright emotionally. I start school Monday. So, between working full-time and going to school full-time, I'm not going to have time to sit around moping about being lonely. I also won't have time to gripe at H about his behaviors, so the little time we DO get to spend together may well be happy. I'm trying to drag him out to church tonight, but he's been asleep all day, so I'm not sure how well that's going to work out. We'll see..

As for the games being an addiction.. I don't know.. I don't think that's it.. it just seems to "out there" .. I mean .. how can you have a literal addiction to a recreational activity?
