I have been here just a few days. I thank you all for taking time to say thanks, give a hug and reply to me. It means everything to me.

I am surrounded by people in my physical life now, but I feel so lonely. Loneliness is the most painful thing we can feel. To help ourselves not be lonely we have to reach out and make an effort to connect. I have done that here and I am so grateful for all who have responded in anyway.

I will continue to try to reach out where I am. It is so difficult as I am in a foreign land and I am having trouble connecting. What makes matters very hard is that I feel very little connection with the woman I came to marry. We talked online for over 3 years, but now that I am with her there seems to be nothing between us. She still wants to marry, but I am having serious doubts.
