I want to go back to my hometown to live there for good, but since my husband is working where we are residing now it hinders me to go back. I feel alone and not happy here. I don't know what to do.

i have left my hometown many times. ive returned, lost my house, and returned again. all in all, i would have to say that you might want to stay with what you have. moving is alot to go through, and everytime you go back, its never the same. i recently went though what i was convinced was the best for me, go back to my hometown, leave the empty, out of place, alone feeling i had there to come back to the place ive known and loved. turns out this place has changed so much that i now(only months later) and wishing i had just stayed in what i thought at the time was a sh*t hole. all in all, things arent always what they seem, and most of the time, theres no going back. and i tend to stay quite optimistic.

Don't think about the lonely life.Try and cultivate some activity which will keep you engrossed.Why not take a job?If possible after sometime try to see if your husband can get a posting near your hometown.Don't think in terms of returning to your hometown without your husband.Try to immerse yourself in hobbies which give you satisfaction and time will fly.

You can always find ways to be active and happy at the same time. If myLot and other online activities are not enough for you to be occupied, you can surely find other ways and things to do. But don't ever move without your hubby with you. If you are a Catholic by religion, approach your parish lay members and surely they can help you with your problem.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Maybe for the mean time you can just find a hobby you really enjoy to cheer yourself up. Go out and make friends. Who knows, maybe in time, you'll learn to love that place.

Maybe you should talk with your husband about this, he can help you to decide what you want to do. But if you don't want to worry him, you can start to adapt. We're alone when we have no one to talk or befriend. Perhaps you can join clubs or local event. This will help you to socialize and make new friends. Good luck!

Ask your husband to search a job in your home town otherwise yourself involve in some work.
