I am 3000 miles from home, and my husband, who wants nothing to do with me, and I am so lonely. Any advice?

This is me although I’m not 3,000 miles away from anything. I have my friends which I think I’d slit my wrists without. Please seek out women in our age group. Check online for like minded groups. Any hobbies? My husband also isn’t interested in connecting on any level. He is in his rut/comfort zone. Has no desire to change a thing. It’s lonely. I’m 12 years younger and want to be active, which I am. I’m not ready to hang it up yet.
Dear Lonliness,
I agree with Linda, take back your power and start finding what brings you joy. Look for groups who share your interests. Volunteer work gets you out and meeting others.
One step at a time, check into something… scan the internet. (artwork, writing, take classes, working with kids, working with animals, etc)
The key is to keep your life interesting and joyful. It does not matter what he does. People envy and want to be a part of interesting, it is rare for someone to volunteer for dull. Find a group or activity and go more than once, it takes awhile to be a regular. Once that is achieved you are flying.
Kudos for you for taking back your power and leading. I think the alternative is something you can do in your 90′s. If you are interested in politics, have a look there, or find an interest group for a cause dear to your ethics.
