Lonely

cukz,
I can understand your loneliness. I have been in the US for the past 2 years and really miss the great social life I had in India. Iam very outgoing and friendly by nature and feel that Iam being stifled living here. The transition has been huge and Iam still adapting to it. I burn a lot of money on phonecalls to India just to talk to friends and family. Why don't u get a membership to some of the clubs in Kochi? Iam sure that you will meet like minded people there. Take up some hobby. Maybe start a bookclub. Join the gym. I find working out to be the best theraphy. It makes me feel strong and invincible. Get out and start doing things by yourself. You could get your dh to join you sometimes. Everytime you start feeling low just get up and start doing something. Do not brood over things. Go to the salon, spa. Pamper yourself. It will take sometime for any couple, especially in an arranged marriage to come to an understanding about each other. Take care.
