Sometimes Lonely

A personal story in the experience: I Don't Have Any Local Friends
I guess I isolated myself during my marriage of 10 years, which is entirely my fault and I accept that.  It is hard for me to meet and make friends with people around here.  Sometimes I want to go with a group or just one other person, but I don't know anyone I can call.

It's weird how we do that isn't it? I've been with my wife 17 yrs. and now it's over. I look around and realise that she's my best friend. Unfortunately i've let most of my other friendships kind of fall by the wayside.

I am checking out things going on around where I live. The problem is a good part of the weekends (the only time I really have to socialize) I am down in Northern Kentucky going to my kids' sports games. I love doing that but the only people I'm really in contact with there are my family and the parents of the other players sometimes. I am trying to talk to them more.
