Married and lonely

I recently became a stay home mom who does not socialise and have any friends. My husband works non stop. When he’s home, he’s either sleeping, watching his movie, talking to friends over phone or meeting friends. Only time with me would be sleeping in same room. We would occasionally watch movie together when kids are asleep but he will be focused on it that he’d ignore me talking. Ive had to beg for his time. I am starting to feel very lonely. Ive told him abt it and still the same. What should i do? I am so lonely that sometimes i feel like chatting with some strangers online to overcome boredom.

I really think that where the heart is , there the time shall be. whether a husband or not , u need to care for yourself and your wellbeing, never take yourself for granted. I am not confident to be faithful to the well being of another human, so in a way , I also cannot expect the same for others. so if you want to move back into work , do so . If u want to be stay home mum, do so and find a community of mothers , pick up culinary classes if you like , revamp the house if u like for your hubby, it's not going to work out ling term, so work out an arrangement if he just so happens to be bus during this period. e.g. bi weekly Mondays are dating. every Friday night is family movie night
