I would give anything to have one really good friend near me that actually wanted to hang out and let me vent and give me the tough love I need to put myself in a healthier situation. I need to leave my husband, but I’m having so much trouble walking away even though he’s given me more than enough reasons. I know that no one can make me do anything, but it would be nice to not have to internalize everything. It seems like friendships these days are one sided and I’m always here to listen or help others, but I can’t get that same energy returned. And sometimes it would keep at be nice to have a friend to just bs with and have fun. And yes, I’m looking for a therapist, but my insurance barely covers anything and I can’t afford a lot.

Got TF out.
Why are you there? Are you punishing yourself? Make a list of what you need to do and start putting the pieces together to do it. Check it off as you go.
Decide you’ve had enough.

I think you’re stronger than you give yourself credit for! It took a lot of strength to write this post! My advice as your “friend” is to write down a step by step plan and stick to it. Nothing happens over night. Life is a process! You’ve got this

Hang in there it will work out, been there and do that.
Maybe a pen pal? I wouldn’t mind to be your penpal! Feel free to message me and vent i don’t mind im usually the one everyonenvents to in my group of friends…
Women’s shelters have wonderful resources for options including counseling which would give you another source to vent as well!
Not sure where you are. But at the very least I could be a phone friend. Message me if you want
Hey maybe we can start a pen pal thread where people can say if they want one and someone can say hey ill be ur penpal…

My grandfather once told me that 6hr only true friend I will ever have is in my pockets$$$ he was right!
Look around for a mental health place on your area they normally go by your income and probably would take your insurance.
We are in the last days. Read what the bible talks about this. You will never have a true friend without Christ being the focal. You can’t trust this world.

If he hits you or scares you or makes you feel unloved THEN screw the “list” and go NOW. Go where? There are nice shelters for abused women. They treat you more kindly than regular bc they know you are abused PLUS there are other women there that you can become friends with. Then you can get a job (they will help you). Then you can get your own place. Hang on to God too bc He will give you comfort and strength. Now get going…call the hotline to find a shelter. Just do it!! P.S. You can contact me if you want more info. Happy Easter sweetie.

Therapy and counseling services for your marriage (there’s sliding scale places, as well as local small groups you can join for free or cheap!!), our friends are simply not qualified nor should have to bear the weight of our deepest challenges.
Also, through joining local support groups you will inevitably find people who you will be able to connect with.

I’m in the same boat you are. I’m in my hometown and there’s not one single soul aside from my sweet man I have … he’s all I have at the moment. But I needs another one to vent with as well. Give me a friend request. I’ll be there for you. What do you say ?? Come on down… let’s talk about it… I’m really serious. You need a real friend. I’m as real as it gets…

I hear you! I’m living in a new state. Haven’t got but one friend here and she’s in another town. I don’t have a car, so I don’t get to go very far. I live in an apartment building, but folks are slow to make friends here. The ones who do socialize smoke and I don’t want to sit in the smoking lounge. It’ll be better when the weather gets nice and they sit outside, even then though, I don’t know how close they’ll want to get. I’m already on my own with my emotional support dog. We do ok. Just get a little lonesome for human conversation. I don’t know what sort of problems you’re having with your husband. If you really think that there’s no fixing it, you really should walk away. Life is too short to put up with nonsense and be unhappy. Therapy is good, but pricey. Most times a pastor will counsel you for free. They will try to convince you salvage your marriage at all costs though. Even if you feel you’re beating a dead horse. Well, I guess that’s my nickel’s worth of free advice. If you would like me to be your friend, I’m available.

You want freinds start by respecting yourself which means let know one treat you bad
If you’re in Northern Indiana or the Aurora, iL area I’ll be your friend! This past year I’ve finally found 3 friends who I click with. It is the best. Good luck and if you’re not in my area I hope you find someone who is in your area.
I’m in RI. Here if anyone wants to chat.
I am in SW PA. Take care of yourself and good luck. Seems like a lot of women have no friends these days. It’s the same here.
I unloaded on a good friend of mine. Now I regret it so much cuz I was in a bad place and she was just too nice. I’m embarrassed I did that. If you need to talk to someone , you can go to a pastor or a mental health center.
Friends are definitely hard to come by these times… hang in there sis… when it’s time everything will fall into place
You and anyone else can always send me a message:) not sure where you are, but I’m in iowa.
Understand… Talkjng to a stranger some times helps cause they have reason to pick sides

You are not alone. Everybody needs someone to talk to, and get a hug from.
Your welcome to send me a private message 
True more broken people on life’s rocky shores nowadays. Same with the msg me.
I know you think you need someone to lean on to help you leave & get over him but you don’t. It is hard, but sometimes we have to be our own friend & do what’s best for our self. Their is some free counseling online & support groups for all kinds of different issues. Search support groups on fb & YouTube. Also most counties have mental health services available for low income individuals.

I know your pain it really sucks when you need someone to talk to you and no one is there I do have one friend who is 99% of the time they’re just like I am for her but sometimes I wish I can get more opinions and advice from other people just because you know it’s hard when you have a circle so small it’s just you and another person it’s so hard to trust people nowadays but I do love my Bestie
Were are you based ?
where are you based lovely x
Same…you can friend request me!
Young one, you need to be a friend and love yourself first. You don’t leave because you are use to the way things are. Your first step is look into the mirror and see “you” - say to yourself - you deserve better, it’s your life , you are a strong woman who has given all and never expected the same. You are in control of you.
It’ll take a lil’ bit - but believing in one’s self takes practice- especially when you’ve had some time with someone who doesn’t value you. Just by writing this - you have empowered yourself - you admitted to what you want changed in “ your” life. You’ll know in your gut - not heart- when your ready to step out of your comfort zone. Lil’ steps - find “ you” first - life will become an adventure- your adventure.
Where are you? I run Motherhood Support Group and it’s helped find friends local to that area
