Dinner alone..... again
This is getting old.

I was perfectly willing to deal with empty nest syndrome when the nest was empty, but I have not only my own son living at home, but his friend... and for the 3rd night this week, I'm eating dinner alone.

Anybody got a cure for this?

3. I've had dinner alone for about a decade now.

What do I do when I feel alone? Go outside and do something - watch a movie, eat, shop, window shop, you name it. Of course I feel scared and paranoid when doing any of those things, but nobody's perfect...


(or 34 years if you exempt living with your parents)

4. Cheers
My daughter works three nights a week and my wife just had a huge project dumped on her. I'll be eating alone for most of this week and next.
I got the dogs to keep me company

5. You could come over to my place for dinner
I always make plenty, and the wife doesnt mind meeting new people.

10. you're very kind....
if I had to do that a couple of times a week, I would go broke paying for airfare.

But thank you for the offer! :hug:
