I think it’s normal to feel lonely when your spouse has walled off and isn’t talking to you. You can of course spend time with hobbies, friend and family but this feeling of loneliness won’t stop until the rejection stops. And that will stop either by him changing his behavior or you leaving.

Start or reengage in a hobby.

I'm going to more social events related to my hobbies. I'm an introvert so that's not easy for me, but I recognize that I need to be around others with shared interests. My spouse and I basically have 0 shared interests other than the running of our household.

I'm less lonely now than when I was married... I go hiking with friends, we have movie nights at my place, we go to dinner and even planning on going to a concert. Used to always just go home to my ex and sit in front of my computer while he sat in front of his.

I'm so much happier alone than I was with him. It's like a huge weight is lifted off my shoulders. Alone is lovely.

This is an opportunity for growth. I’m going through similar situation. There is a new impetus not only to gain comfort and satisfaction in spending time alone, but also to push myself to make the effort to find social activities and engage

Already was alone in the marriage so now, nothing much has changed. Realizing this made me stop feeling sorry for myself.

No real advice, just wanted to say 'you cant do it forever'. I stayed for a long time trying to 'make things work' with my stbx partner, we both did, and have emerged at the 15 year mark both exhausted from the effort and unable to continue. there was a lot of good times in the intervening years but always conflict and always loneliness. No easy answers, but I can say that the feeling of trying and trying for way too long and then having it fail is pretty devastating and ripping off the bandaid earlier might save you lots of misery

As someone who felt alone for awhile before my divorce, it's easier to be alone by yourself than alone with your distant spouse. Learn to love yourself. Do little things to show yourself love. You've got this.

work takes up a lot of my time. got myself back into photography. funny thing, detailing my car has become a hobby.i just try to find things to occupy me so I don't have time to sit and dwell on the loneliness.....

Actively deciding to do things. Running, photography, working in yard, etc

I isolate myself and feel more lonely. Gonna double down if it doesn't work.

I don’t let myself be isolated or lonely, lol.

Dating, having friends over, engaging in online shenanigans, custody time etc. when I’m alone I want to be alone.
